Answer:

36\ tigers

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the number of lions

y ----> the number f tigers

z ----> the number of zebras

we know that

x+y+z=120 ----> equation A

Remember that

20\%=20/100=0.20

50\%=50/100=0.50

To find out the number of lions, multiply the total animals by the percentage of lions

x=0.20(120)=24\ lions

To find out the number of zebras, multiply the total animals by the percentage of zebras

z=0.50(120)=60\ zebras

Substitute the value of x and the value of z in equation A and solve for y

24+y+60=120

y+84=120

y=36\ tigers

Isosceles △ABC (AC=BC) is inscribed in the circle k(O). Prove that the tangent to the circle at point C is parallel to AB .
timofeeve [1]

Explanation:

Let M be the midpoint of AB. Then CM is the perpendicular bisector of AB. As such, center O is on CM, and OC is a radius (and CM). The tangent is perpendicular to that radius (and CM), so is parallel to AB, which is also perpendicular to CM.

If you need to go any further, you can show that triangles CMA and CMB are congruent, so (linear) angles CMA and CMB are congruent, hence both 90°.

erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

The court house tower should be 51 feet tall.

Step-by-step explanation:

2.5+2.5=5 feet because 2+2=4 and 0.5+0.5=1. 4+1=5

25.5+25.5=51 because 25+25=50 and 0.5+0.5=1. 50+1=51

Point G is on segment FH such that it partitions segment FH into a ratio of 2:3.Point F is located at (5, 7) and point H is loca
Margarita [4]

Answer:

G = (9.4, 9,4)

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio is applied in the x-distance and the y-distance. The ratio is 2:3 so you have to divide the distances by 5 and 2/5 correspond to FG and 3/5 to GH

x-distance:

x2 - x1 = 16 - 5 = 11

11/5 = 2.2

y-distance:

y2 - y1 = 13 - 7 = 6

6/5 = 1.2

Point G = Point F + (2.2*2, 1.2*2)

Point G = (5, 7) + (4.4, 2.4)

= (9.4, 9.4)

A principal of $2000 is placed in a savings account at 3% per annum compounded annually. How much is in the account after one ye
natita [175]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

After one year

A=p(1+r/n)^nt

=2000(1+0.03/12)^12*1

=2000(1+0.0025)^12

=2000(1.0025)^12

=2000(1.0304)

=$2060.8

After two-years

A=p(1+r/n)^nt

=2060.8(1+0.03/12)^12*2

=2060.8(1+0.0025)^24

=2060.8(1.0025)^24

=2060.8(1.0618)

=$2188.157

After three years

A=p(1+r/n)^nt

=2188.157(1+0.03/12)^12*3

=2188.157(1+0.0025)^36

=2188.157(1.0025)^36

=2188.157(1.0941)

=$2394.063
