Answer:

  • 1997: 66.00 billion cubic ft
  • 1998: 67.19 billion cubic ft
  • 2000: 69.63 billion cubic ft
  • 2010: 83.23 billion cubic ft

Step-by-step explanation:

For repetitive calculations, it is convenient to let a spreadsheet or calculator do them. See attached for the table of values and the graph. The graph is that of an exponential curve. Its slope increases at an increasing rate.
