Answer:

0.015625 left.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we start with say 100g of the material, in 10 years there is 100 * 1/2 =

50g left   ( = 0.5 left).

In 20 years there is 100*(1/2)^2 = 25 g  left.

In n*10 years there is  100(1/2)^2 g

So in 60 years there is 100(1/2)^6 = 1.5625 g left

This is 1.5625 %

= 0.015625 of the origin material left.

A triangle has sides with lengths of 60 feet, 63 feet, and 87 feet. Is it a right triangle?
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the Pythagorean Theorem to check if this triangle is a right triangle:

a^2+b^2=c^2

Note that a and b are the legs of the triangle and c is the hypotenuse:

Substitute the lengths of the sides into the equation:

60^2+63^2=87^2

3600+3969=7569\\7569=7569

Therefore this triangle is a right triangle.

Rearrange to make x the subject<br> 4(x-3)/a=y
klio [65]

Answer:

Answer: x = a*y + 3

Step-by-step explanation:

To make x the subject of the equation, first, we open the bracket

4x - 12/a = y

Then cross multiply:

4x - 12 = a * y ( a*y means the product of the two variables)

Add 12 to both sides of the equation

4x = a*y + 12

Divide both sides by 4 to get the value of x

x = a * y + 12/4

x = a*y + 3
