Answer:  14.6

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Draw a right triangle such that the building is perpendicular to the ground (which is where the shadow is cast).

Use Pythagorean Theorem to find the length of the shadow (x):

x² + 34² = 37²

x²          = 37² - 34²

x²          = 213

√x²       = √213

x          = 14.59

maks197457 [2]

Answer: $3,581

Step-by-step explanation:

As she plans to save from her net income, we have to find the net income first:

= Net income - Federal taxes - Social and Medicare taxes

= 33,000 - (33,000 * 20%) - (33,000 * 7.65%)

= $23,875.50

The savings will be:

= Net income * Savings percentage

= 23,875.50 * 15%

= $3,581.325

= $3,581

Which equation is equivalent to the given equation?
madam [21]

Answer:

x² - x - 12 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

0 = -x² + x + 12

→ Add x² to both sides

x² = x + 12

→ Minus x from both sides

x² - x = 12

→ Minus 12 from both sides

x² - x - 12 = 0

A sample of radium has a weight of 1.5 mg and a half-life of approximately 6 years.
pogonyaev

Answer:

0.75 mg

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given above the following data were obtained:

Original amount (N₀) = 1.5 mg

Half-life (t₁/₂) = 6 years

Time (t) = 6 years

Amount remaining (N) =.?

Next, we shall determine the number of half-lives that has elapse. This can be obtained as follow:

Half-life (t₁/₂) = 6 years

Time (t) = 6 years

Number of half-lives (n) =?

n = t / t₁/₂

n = 6/6

n = 1

Finally, we shall determine the amount of the sample remaining after 6 years (i.e 1 half-life) as follow:

Original amount (N₀) = 1.5 mg

Half-life (t₁/₂) = 6 years

Number of half-lives (n) = 1

Amount remaining (N) =.?

N = 1/2ⁿ × N₀

N = 1/2¹ × 1.5

N = 1/2 × 1.5

N = 0.5 × 1.5

N = 0.75 mg

Thus, 0.75 mg of the sample is remaining.
