The answer is actually 80 degrees, I just took the test.
Answer:
TSA=6a²
TSA=6*17*17=1734 mm²
Step-by-step explanation:
When finding the reciprocal, it is basicaly flipping the numerator and denominator of the number. For instance, the reciporcal of 2 is 1/2, because the denominator of 2 would be 1. For an example more straight forward, the reciporacle of 3/5 is 5/3. This applied to the question goes as followed.
1. 3/5 is 5/3
2. 1/4 is 4
3. 1 is 1
Similarly when dividing fractions or an integer to a fraction, the fraction that is dividing the number turns into the reciprocal then you would multiply.
4. 3/(3/4) is 3*4/3= 4
5. 5/(3/4) is 5*(4/3)= 20/3
6. 8/(4/7) is 8*(7/3)= 56/3
7. 6/(3/5) is 6*(5/3)= 10
8. 2/(5/8) is 2*(8/5)= 16/5
9. 4/(8/9) is 4*(9/8)= 9/2
.25
you can come to this conclusion by calculating 13/52
We need the half-life of C-14 which is 5,730 years.
Now, we will need a half-life equation:
elapsed time = half-life * log (bgng amt / ending amt) / log 2
We'll say beginning amount = 100 and ending amount = 41
elapsed time = 5,730 * log (100/41) / log 2
elapsed time = 5,730 * log (
