Answer:

This is a guess!

When looking at the given equation I can not help but think of compound interest. So I am going to convert this into that format.

'~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Within the context of financial interest:

Looking for:

P

(

1

−

x

)

n

Where P is the principle sum,

x

is the interest and n is the number of interest cycles (annual)

'~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Given:

y

=

5100

(

0.95

)

x

But

0.95

=

1

−

0.05

so we have

y

=

5100

(

1

−

0.05

)

x

But

.

0.05

=

5

100

So we have

y

=

5100

(

1

−

5

100

)

x

Thus the percentage change each year is

−

5

%

Answer:

128.605 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the areas of the top triangle, and the bottom triangle and add them together.

The top triangle consists of 2 smaller triangles.  Look at the larger one, the height is 4.93 and the base is 17.  The area is...

A = (1/2)(17)(4.93)

   A = 41.905 m²

The bottom triangle consists of 2 smaller triangles.  Look at the larger one, the height is 10.2 and the base is 17.   The area is...

A = (1/2)(17)(10.2)

  A = 86.7 m²

The total area is 41.905 m² + 86.7 m² = 128.605 m²
