Using the Pythagorean theorem:

15^2 = 12^2 + X^2

225 = 144 + x^2

X^2 = 225 - 144

x^2 = 81

x = √81

x = 9

The distance is 9 feet.

The answer is A.

If the half-life of a radioactive substance is 2,800 years, then at what rate is it decaying?

vlada-n [284]

Answer:

0.0001075

Step-by-step explanation:

The relation between halflife and rate at which it is decaying is given by

$t_{\frac{1}{2} } =\dfrac{log2}{rate}$

now in the above problem halflife is given as 2800 years substituting in the above equation we get the value of rate at which it is decaying to be rate=0.0001075.
