Answer:

The answer is A. 2.0

Step-by-step explanation:

One of the angles is a right angle, because x is the tangent of that circle. The other radius is 1.5, since all radius are equal to each other. Then you use the Pythagorean theorem (a²+b²=c²). C is always the hypotenuse. The hypotenuse in this triangle is the 1.5 + 1 line. A and b can be changed within each other. I put A = 1.5, B = x, and C = 2.5. My equation was 1.5²+x²=2.5². Remember the formula can also be x²+1.5²=2.5² as well. Then you solve the equation you just made. You multiply everything by each other, because of the ² (I forgot the name of it, hehehe). You will get 2.25+x²=6.25. Then you subtract 2.25 to both side. x²= 4. Then you square root both sides to make x by itself. x=2. That's how you get 2 as your answer

This is an exponential growth problem. Exponential growth can be expressed mathematically in the following way:
$y=a (1+r)^{t}$ .
Parameter a presents initial amount.
Parameter r is percentage increase.
Parameter t is time.
An equation that would describe given problem is:
$y=400 (1+0.02)^{t}$
t is the time in years.
I attached the graph of this function.
