I would say read it well and then write down an equation or expression to represent the data so its easier for you to understand and/or solve.
Answer:
87.8 square meters
Step-by-step explanation:
First of all, find the area of the three recthangles.They are all 9m long and 3m wide. 9*3 is 27, and since there are three of them, 27*3 is 81.
To find the area of the two triangles, you could do 3*2.6. Normally, you would halve the values because they are triangles but since there's two of them it cancels out.
3*2.6 is 7.8, and adding that to the area of the rectangles gets the equation 81+7.8 which comes out to 87.8 square meters.
at the beginning of year 4, only 3 years have elapsed, the 4th year hasn't started yet, since it's at the beginning, so at the beginning of year 4 we can say only 4-1 years have elapsed.
![A=700\left( 1 + \frac{0.05}{1} \right)^{1\cdot 3}\implies A = 700(1+0.05)^3\implies A(4)=700(1+0.05)^{4-1} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ ~\hfill A(n)=700(1+0.05)^{n-1}~\hfill](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=A%3D700%5Cleft%28%201%20%2B%20%5Cfrac%7B0.05%7D%7B1%7D%20%5Cright%29%5E%7B1%5Ccdot%203%7D%5Cimplies%20A%20%3D%20700%281%2B0.05%29%5E3%5Cimplies%20A%284%29%3D700%281%2B0.05%29%5E%7B4-1%7D%20%5C%5C%5C%5C%5B-0.35em%5D%20~%5Cdotfill%5C%5C%5C%5C%20~%5Chfill%20A%28n%29%3D700%281%2B0.05%29%5E%7Bn-1%7D~%5Chfill)
