Assuming that the actual question reads lines b and c are perpendicular to line d
we are given that c is perpendicular to line d and parallel to line a. Since b is also perpendicular to line d, a b and c must all be parallel (draw it out will make a lot more sense)
So b is also parallel to line a
Using proportions, it is found that the number 96 is 100 times as great as 0.96.
<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>
A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three. Due to this, relations between variables, either direct(when both increase or both decrease) or inverse proportional(when one increases and the other decreases, or vice versa), can be built to find the desired measures in the problem, or equations to find these measures.
A number x is 100 times as great as 0.96, meaning that the proportion between the number and 0.96 is of 100, hence:
x/0.96 = 100.
Applying cross multiplication:
x = 0.96 x 100
x = 96.
The number 96 is 100 times as great as 0.96.
