Use the slope-intercept formula
y = mx + b
Answer:
Quantity remaining= 27.5 grams
Step-by-step explanation:
If the initial quantity of the radioactive isotope= 220 grams
And for each half life it will reduce to half of its original quantity
For first half life
Quantity= 220/2
Quantity= 110 grams
Now for the second half life , the quantity to work with will be 110 grams
Second half life
Quantity= 110/2
Quantity= 55 grams
For the third half life , the quantity to work with is 55 grams
Third half life
Quantity= 55/2
Quantity= 27.5 grams
So after 3 half life's of this radioactive isotope, the amount remaining out of 220 = 27.5 grams.
Another simple way to do this
Since half life reduce the isotope by half of its original.
The third half life will reduce it by (1/2)^3= 1/8
So the quantity remaining= 1/8*220
Quantity remaining= 27.5 grams

(side 1)² + (side 2)² = (diagonal)²
(9.5² + (14)² = (diagonal)²
90.25 + 196 = (diagonal)²
286.25 = (diagonal)²
√286.25 = √(diagonal)²
17 = diagonal
