i got 13 acres.... idk how to solve that question tbh. What did you do?
I worked out the average percentage increase to about 2.7% but it said it was over 10 years for the tree to reach 6 feet so I compounded it. I took the 2022 trees which was 7.66 million x 1.027^10 = 9.99 million then assumed 75% were nordmann fir trees which gave me 7.49 million.
I assumed 5 feet apart then x 8 feet by row gave me 40 sf per tree. So then I did 40 sf x 7.49 million trees = 299.6 million sf Then I divided it by the amount of sf per acre which was around 43000 ish to get the 6787 acres

omg, i forgot to do the compound bit... and the multiplying it. I divided it by 8 feet then 4 feet idk why. eek
