We know that
Applying the Pythagoras Theorem
c=²=a²+b²
where c is the diagonal of the wall
a=12 ft
b=6 ft
c²=12²+6²-----> c²=144+36-----< c²=180-----> c=√180------> c=6√5 ft

the answer is
<span>the exact length of the brace is 6</span>√5 ft

The amount in kilograms, a, of a radioactive element that remains after t hours can be modeled by the equation a= 0.65(0.92)to t
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

The rate of decrease is 8%

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The general equation for the radioactive decay can be written as:

a=a_0(1-r)^t

where

a is the amount in kilograms after time t.

a_0 is the original amount of the substance or y-intercept of the function

r is the decay rate, written in decimals.

t is the time

In this problem we have

a=0.65(0.92)^t

so

a_0=0.65\\(1-r)=0.92

solve for r

r=1-0.92=0.08

Convert to percentage

0.08(100)=8\%
