Answer: 50000

Step-by-step explanation:

Significant figures : The figures in a number which express the value -the magnitude of a quantity to a specific degree of accuracy is known as significant digits.

Rules for significant figures:

Digits from 1 to 9 are always significant and have infinite number of significant figures.

All non-zero numbers are always significant. For example: 654, 6.54 and 65.4 all have three significant figures.

All zero’s between integers are always significant. For example: 5005, 5.005 and 50.05 all have four significant figures.

All zero’s preceding the first integers are never significant. For example: 0.0078 has two significant figures.

All zero’s after the decimal point are always significant. For example: 4.500, 45.00 and 450.0 all have four significant figures.

Thus 52961 when rounded off to one significant figure will be 50000.

KonstantinChe [14]

Since the area of the circle is only 3.14. that means 3.14 out of one hundred units can be hit. so you have a 3.14% chance of hitting the circle in the middle. SO the probability is very close to 0.

100 - 3.14 = 96.86, so we have a 97 percent chance (approximately) of landing in the white space, This is very close to one.

Third option is correct. Scale factor 3 ; enlargement.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the figure A'B'C'D' is a dilation of figure ABCD.

We know that after dilation the corresponding sides of image and preimage are in the same proportion.

The image of AD is A'D'.

From the figure it is noticed that the A(-1,2), D(-1,-1), A'(-3,6) and D'(-3,-3).
