Answer:
254 yds²
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 6 faces of the prism we need to calculate the area of for a rectangular prism.
The base and top of the prism measure 9x7 yards each, so there are two faces with an area of 63 yds² (9 x 7 = 63)
The sides of the prism measure 4x7 yards each, so there are two faces with an area of 28 yds² (4 x 7 = 28)
The front and back face of the prism measure 9x4 yards each, so there are two faces with an area of 36 yds² (9 x 4 = 36)
The total surface area is
2(63) + 2(28) + 2(36) = 254 yds²
I believe the answer is 54%.
Hope this helps!
Let
be the unknown number. So, three times that number means
, and the square of the number is 
We have to sum 528 and three times the number, so we have 
Then, we have to subtract this number from
, so we have

The result is 120, so the equation is

This is a quadratic equation, i.e. an equation like
. These equation can be solved - assuming they have a solution - with the following formula

If you plug the values from your equation, you have

So, the two solutions would be


But we know that x is positive, so we only accept the solution 
Answer:
% Remaining![= [1-(1/2)^{\frac{t}{2.6}}]x100](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%3D%20%5B1-%281%2F2%29%5E%7B%5Cfrac%7Bt%7D%7B2.6%7D%7D%5Dx100%20)
And replacing the value t =5.5 hours we got:
% Remaining![= [1-(1/2)^{\frac{5.5}{2.6}}]x100 =76.922\%](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%3D%20%5B1-%281%2F2%29%5E%7B%5Cfrac%7B5.5%7D%7B2.6%7D%7D%5Dx100%20%3D76.922%5C%25)
Step-by-step explanation:
Previous concepts
The half-life is defined "as the amount of time it takes a given quantity to decrease to half of its initial value. The term is most commonly used in relation to atoms undergoing radioactive decay, but can be used to describe other types of decay, whether exponential or not".
Solution to the problem
The half life model is given by the following expression:

Where A(t) represent the amount after t hours.
represent the initial amount
t the number of hours
h=2.6 hours the half life
And we want to estimate the % after 5.5 hours. On this case we can begin finding the amount after 5.5 hours like this:

Now in order to find the percentage relative to the initial amount w can use the definition of relative change like this:
% Remaining = 
We can take common factor
and we got:
% Remaining![= [1-(1/2)^{\frac{t}{2.6}}]x100](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%20%3D%20%5B1-%281%2F2%29%5E%7B%5Cfrac%7Bt%7D%7B2.6%7D%7D%5Dx100%20)
And replacing the value t =5.5 hours we got:
% Remaining ![= [1-(1/2)^{\frac{5.5}{2.6}}]x100 =76.922\%](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%3D%20%5B1-%281%2F2%29%5E%7B%5Cfrac%7B5.5%7D%7B2.6%7D%7D%5Dx100%20%3D76.922%5C%25)
