Answer:
the square root of 25 is 5
The formula we use for continuous compounding is

where P is the initial amount invested, r is the rate as a decimal, and t is time in years. Our P = 1300, our r = .042, and our t = 5.75 (9 months is 3/4 of a year, and 3/4 in a decimal is .75). Putting all that into our formula we have

. We have to multiply those 2 powers together and then raise euler's number to it, then multiply by 1300. Doing all of that, we get the amount at the end to be $1,655.10
1) I'd say 4.44 hours
2) About 2.46 hours
The volume of the building would be the sum of the volume of the roof and the volume of the base
For the volume of the base, the formula is
V = lwh
Where
l = length of base = 50 feet
w = width of base = 15 feet
h = height of base = 15 feet
Volume of base = 50 * 15 * 15 = 11250 square feet
For the volume of the roof, the formula is
V = 1/2lwh
Where
l = length of roof = 50 feet
h = height of roof = 10 feet
w = width of roof = 15 feet
Volume of roof = 1/2 * 50 * 10 * 15 = 3750
Volume of buiding = 11250 + 3750 = 150000 cubic feet
