Answer:
The fossil is 1860 years old.
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation for the amount of fossil has the following format:
In which Q(t) is the amount after t years, Q(0) is the initial amount and r is the rate of change.
Half-life of c-14 is 5730 years.
This means that
So
So
How old is the fossil?
This is t for which
So
The fossil is 1860 years old.
I took five years before and it was hard for me to remember the postualates. I found it helpful to practice proving problems that involved the postualate. Some postualates like SAS are just abbreviations. SAS- Side-Angle-Side
First, use the random number table to generate the possible probabilities but only account the first four digits in order to get a value that is a percentage
35.85%
28.97%
90.12%
5.07%
20.43%
The average is
36.09%
There is a 36.09% probability that the light will be green when reaches the traffic light
Assuming that CB is tangent, this is just a right triangle with a hypotenuse of 20 and a side of 12 so by the Pythagorean Theorem:
20^2=12^2+x^2
400=144+x^2
x^2=400-144
x^2=256
x=16
Answer: 12.1 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a rectangular fence so it represents a rectangle.
Fencing the garden will require going around it therefore you are looking for the perimeter.
Perimeter of a rectangle = (2 * Length) + ( 2 * Width)
= (2 * 315) + ( 2 * 290)
= 1,210 cm
Convert to meters:
A meter is 100 centimeters
= 1,210 / 100
= 12.1 meters
