Would it still be one thousand feet?
Because the 500 shouldn't matter
If it does then it's 1500

Answer:

Distance between balloon and point of liftoff is 1118 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

A hot air balloon rises straight up 500 feet. It catches a breeze and is blown west 1000 feet.

Since this phenomenon is three dimensional but I have drawn it in 2 dimensions.

So distance between balloon and the liftoff point will be

x² = 1000² + 500²

x^{2}=10^{6}+0.25(10)^{6}

             = 1.25(10)^{6}

x = \sqrt{1.25(10)^{6} }

  = 1.118×1000

  = 1118 feet

Therefore, distance between balloon from the point of liftoff is 1118 feet

Answer:

t = 6162  years

Step-by-step explanation:

Apparently you are asked to use the constant k = 0.0001 instead of the most common 0.00012. We'll answer the problem using such number you typed, but make sure that there is no omission in your typing.

The equation to use is that for carbon decay:

N(t)=N_0\,e^{-0.0001\,\,t}

If the skull contains 54% of its original amount of C14, then that means that :

N(t)=0.54 \,\,N_0

we use this to solve for the time (t) in our equation:

0.54\,\,N_0=N_0\,e^{-0.0001\,\,t}\\\frac{0.54\,\,N_0}{N_0}=e^{-0.0001\,\,t}\\0.54=e^{-0.0001\,\,t}\\ln(0.54)=-0.0001\,\,t\\t=\frac{ln(0.54)}{-0.0001} \\t=6161.86\,\,years

which rounded to the nearest year as requested gives :

t = 6162  years

I need to find X but I don't know how to do it
klio [65]
I think i am doing this right i am not sure. First you need to add up all the sides (100+38+22+15) it would equal 175 then you need to subtract it from 360 and get the missing value (x) then the answer would be 185
