The areas (in km²) under forests in four countries A, B, C and D for the years 2014 and 2024 are shown in the given bar chart:
The minimum percentage of deforestation during 2014-2024 was in country
To determine the country with the minimum percentage of deforestation between 2014 and 2024, we need to calculate the percentage decrease in forest area for each country. This can be done using the formula:
\(\text{Percentage Decrease} = \left(\frac{\text{Initial Value} - \text{Final Value}}{\text{Initial Value}}\right) \times 100\)
- For Country A:
- 2014: 100 km²
- 2024: 50 km²
- For Country B:
- 2014: 500 km²
- 2024: 400 km²
- For Country C:
- 2014: 200 km²
- 2024: 100 km²
- For Country D:
- 2014: 600 km²
- 2024: 500 km²
Comparing the percentages calculated, the minimum percentage of deforestation is in Country D with a decrease of 16.67%.
Therefore, the correct answer is Country D.
