(c)1.64
(d)2.64
Answer
Answer (as printed): A
Explanation
$$\begin{aligned} & \frac{\sqrt{x}}{\sqrt{441}}=0.02 \Leftrightarrow \frac{\sqrt{x}}{21}=0.02 \\ & \begin{aligned} \Leftrightarrow \quad \sqrt{x}=0.02 \times 21 & =0.42 \Leftrightarrow x \\ & =(0.42)^{2}=0.1764 . \end{aligned} \end{aligned}$$
