What is the opportunity cost (in civilian output) of a defense buildup that raises military spending from 3 to 3.7 percent of a(n) $14 trillion economy? Instructions: Enter your response rounded to the nearest whole number billion

$98 billion

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the opportunity cost is shown below:

= Difference in military spending × economy ÷ percentage

where,

The Difference in military spending is

= 3.7 - 3

The Economy is $14 trillion

And, the percentage is 100

Now placing these values to the above formula

So, the opportunity cost is

= (3.7 - 3) × $14 trillion ÷ 100

= 0.7 × $14 trillion ÷ 100

= $98 billion

c. 27 units.

step-by-step explanation:

we are told that in circle a, ∠bae ≅ ∠dae.

we can see from our given diagram that in and ;

, as these are radii of our given circle.

therefore, by sas congruence postulate.

hence, side be will be equal to side de as corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent. so we can set an equation to find the value of x as:

now let us substitute x=17 in the expression for the length of be.

therefore, length of be will be 27 units and option c is the correct choice.
