You increase the size of a paper by 30% then you decrease it by 30% what is the size of the paper now

I'm assuming that this is applying to the linear dimensions. Let's say the paper is 10 inches by 10 inches

The new paper will be 13 inches by 13 inches since 
30% of 10 = 0.3*10 = 3, and we add on 3 to 10 to get 13
Another way to see it: 130% of 10 = 1.3*10 = 13

--------------------------------------

Now decrease the paper by 30%
30% of 13 = 0.3*13 = 3.9
13 - 3.9 = 9.1
This is the same as saying 70% of 13 = 0.7*13 = 9.1

The paper is now 9.1 inches by 9.1 inches

As you can see, the paper has not been restored to its original size (10 by 10). The reason why is because 30% of a larger number leads to a bigger decrease than expected.

luda_lava [24]

i. Let t be the line tangent at point J. We know that a tangent line at a  point on a circle, is perpendicular to the diameter comprising that certain point. So t is perpendicular to JL
let l be the tangent line through L. Then l is perpendicular to JL ii. So t and l are 2 different lines, both perpendicular to line JL.
2 lines perpendicular to a third line, are parallel to each other, so the tangents t and l are parallel to each other.
