Joe hall owns a limousine for use in his personal service business of transporting passengers to airports. the limousine's adjusted basis is $40,000. in addition, hall owns his personal residence and furnishings, that together cost him $280,000. hall's capital assets amount to

a) $320,000
b) $280,000
c) $40,000
d) $0

The answer is B $280,000

Explanation:

capital assets includes investment property and property held for personal use (e.g., personal residence and furnishings), but excludes property used in a trade or business (e.g., limousine).

Therefore the capital assets for Joe Hall is $280,000 which is his personal residence and furnishings excluding his limousine which is for business use

bd = 9 cm

step-by-step explanation:

in a 30°-60°-90° triangle, the ratio of side lengths is 1 : √3 : 2. that is, the longest side (hypotenuse) is twice the length of the shortest side.

all of the triangles in your geometry are 30°-60°-90° triangles. ac is the hypotenuse of δacd, and the short side of δabc.

the short side ad of δacd will be half the length of ac, so 3 cm. the hypotenuse ab of δabc will be twice the length of ac, so 12 cm. segment bd is the difference of the lengths ab and ad, so is

bd = ab -ad

bd = 12 cm - 3 cm = 9 cm

comment on side length ratios

you can figure the ratios of side lengths in a 30°-60°-90° triangle by considering the trig ratios of the angles. or you can figure the length of the altitude of an equilateral triangle of side length 2 using the pythagorean theorem.
