13. The members of Art Club want to draw a mural on the wall of a computer lab. The
design of the mural is the congruent shapes as shown in Diagram 11 and will be
painted by blue colour. The squares at 20th row until 25th row will be painted with red
colour.

0.8%.
i. Find the remaining area of rainforest, in million hectares, in the next nth years,
from the year 2021.
ii. Hence, find the minimum number of years where at most half of the area in
million hectares, of the rainforest still remains, from the year 2021.
