Answer:

EF = 20 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to find the length of EF

To do this, we use the principle of similar triangles

The similar triangles we are considering here will be ;

FEA and FBD

when two triangles are similar, the ratio of their corresponding sides are equal

Let us calculate DC first

we can use Pythagoras’ theorem here and it is that the square of the hypotenuse equals the sum of the square of the two other sides

Using the triangle EDC

15^2 = 12^2 + DC^2

DC^2 = 225-144

DC^2 = 81

DC = 9

So the entire length of BD is 9 + 12 = 21 cm

Thus, we have it that;

Let EF be x

so DF = 15 + x

Hence;

BD/DF = AE/EF

21/15+x = 12/x

21x = 12(15 + x)

21x = 180 + 12x

21x-12x = 180

9x = 180

x = 180/9

x = 20 cm

EF = 20 cm

Georgia’s gross pay was $35,600 this year. She is to pay a federal income tax of 16%. How much should Georgia pay in federal inc
LenaWriter [7]
Georgia should pay $5,260.26 federal tax.

I am assuming that Georgia is an employee.

Gross Pay                                            35,600.00
Deductions:
C.O.L.A
Social Security 6.20%    2,207.20
Medicare 1.45%                516.20        <u>  2,723.40 </u>
Taxable Income                                    32,876.60
Federal Income Tax 16%                     <u>  5,260.26
</u>Net Income                                          <u> 27,616.34</u><u>

</u>Gross income is different from Taxable Income. There are deductions that must be deducted from gross income to arrive at the taxable income. Deductions such as: Cost of Living Allowances (Social Security, Medicare, Retirement Earnings, other non taxable deductions).

There are also deductions that are subject to tax but not the federal estate tax. They are deductible because the tax for that item has already been paid in another form of tax. If said item is not deducted, then double taxation occurs, meaning the taxpayer paid two kinds of taxes for only one item.

What is a, the initial amount, for the function: f(x) = 300(1.16)*?
jeka94
<h3>Answer:   300</h3>

====================================================

Explanation:

One general template of exponential functions is

f(x) = a*(b)^x

The 'a' is the initial amount, which in this case is a = 300

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

Extra info:

The b is the base of the exponential, which is b = 1.16

The value of b is helpful to determine if you have exponential growth or decay, and how much of either. Because b = 1.16 is greater than 1, it indicates exponential growth. The rate of growth is found by solving 1+r = 1.16 to get r = 0.16, which leads to 16% growth.
