The formula for half-life is:

A = P(0.5)^{t/h}

A is the amount remaining, P is the initial amount, t is the time that has passed, and h is the half-life of the substance.  Plug in the values that you know and solve:

4 = P(0.5)^{35/20} \\ \\ 4 = P(0.5)^{1.75} \\ \\ P = \frac{4}{0.5^{1.75}} \\ \\ P \approx 13.4543426441

Rounded to the nearest whole number, the density of the substance was about 13<span>mg / cm².</span>

Naddik [55]
We know that
2l + 2w = 24

And:
l = 3w

By substitution:
2(3w) +2w = 24
6w + 2w = 24
8w = 24
w = 3 metres
l = 3 x 3 = 9 metres

Total cost = 24 x $25 = $600

Alchen [17]

Answer: 48 sold-out performances must be played in order for you to break even.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of sold-out performances must be played in order for you to break even.

You invest in a new play. The cost includes an overhead of $30,000, plus production costs of $2500 per performance. This means that the total cost of x sold out performances would be

2500x + 30000

A sold-out performance brings you $3125. This means that he total revenue from x sold out performances would be

3125x

To break even, cost = revenue

Therefore,

2500x + 30000 = 3125x

3125x - 2500x = 30000

625x = 30000

x = 30000/625

x = 48

What is the length of RU?
marta [7]

Answer:

Length of RU is 20 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

In ΔRSt and ΔRUT,

ST ≅ TU [Given]

RT ≅ RT [Reflexive property]

∠RTS ≅ ∠RTU [Both the angles are the right angles]

ΔRTS ≅ ΔRTU [By SAS property of congruence]

Therefore, RS ≅ RU [By CPCTC (corresponding parts of the congruent triangles are congruent]

8x = 6x + 5

8x - 6x = 5

2x = 5

x = 2.5

Length of RU = (6x + 5)

                      = 6(2.5) + 5

                      = 15 + 5

                      = 20

Length of RU is 20 units.
