Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In circle S: XB and XD are tangents at B and D

then SB perpendicular to AX and SD perpendicular to XC

In triangle SDX: SD = 12 and SX =20 by using Pythagoras Theorem

$XD=\sqrt{20^{2} -12^{2} }=16$

XD = XB tangents to circle S from point X

XA = XC tangents to circle R from point X

then BA = DC = 15

then XC = XD + DC = 16 + 15 = 31

A building society offers a rate of 11% per annum simple interest. Beth-Ann deposit 24000 in the society for 15 months. Calculat

Nostrana [21]

Answer:

The amount of money due to Beth-Ann at the end of this period is $27, 300.

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount at the end of a period, when simple interest is being charged is:

Amount (A) = Principal (P) + Interest (I)

Here interest is computed using the formula:

$I=P\times R\times T$

It is provided that:

P = 24,000

R = 11%

T = 15 months = 1.25 years

Compute the Interest as follows:

$I=P\times R\times T$

$=24000\times 0.11\times 1.25\\=3300$

The interest earned is, I = $3,300.

Compute the amount of money due to Beth-Ann at the end of this period as follows:

$A=P+I$

$=24000+3300\\=27300$

Thus, the amount of money due to Beth-Ann at the end of this period is $27, 300.

Taylor states that 2,800,000 in scientific notation is 2.8 x 10 -6 because the number has six places to the right of the 2. Is T

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Scientific Notation is the way of writing a number or expressing them in a shorter or more compact way.

No, Taylor's resoning is incorrect because 2,800,000 = $2.8 * 10^{6}$

From the question, we are given:

2,800,000 .

2,800,000 in scientific notation is $2.8 * 10^{6}$ .

The reason the power is not to the negative 6 is that we are moving from the right-hand side to the left-hand side 6 times.

Therefore, Taylor's reasoning is incorrect.
