Volume of a rectangular prism is length * width * height.
The figure can be broken into 3 different prisms. Left to right, I'd label them 1st tower, connecting base, 2nd tower.
I'll do the 2nd tower first since it has the most measurements. 5 * 5 * 12 = 25 * 12 = 300
The first and second towers are congruent so they have the same measurements; we just do 300 + 300 to find their volumes. It's 600.
Now, to find the connecting piece. The whole bottom length of this "U" shaped figure is 18 but the two towers have lengths of 5. To find the base of the portion we're looking for, we do 18 - 2(5) = 18 - 10 = 8. To find the height, we take away the top part of the second tower (7 m) from the whole height (12 m). 12 - 7 = 5. The width is given by the towers so we have what we need to solve.
8 * 5 * 5 = 40 * 5 = 200
Now add the volumes all together.
600 + 200 = 800
The figure has a volume of 800 cubic meters or 800 m³.
the loan is being amortized, so that doesn't matter for its future value, the simple case that the borrower is paying it in bits monthly.
so, we're really just looking for the future value of the Principal $15000, let's convert theat mixed fraction to improper fraction, and then to a percent format firstly.

how did we get 4811/4800? well, is really just the 1+(0.0275/12), which gives us about 1.0022917 but is a repeating decimal, so 4811/4800 is just the fraction version of it.
i can't tell you the answer, but i will teach you how to get it!!
first you convert it to a fraction, then you make it a decimal divide the top number by the bottom number, then you move the decimal two places to the right --> and add a percent symbol %
