A sample of Bromine-82 begins at 80 mL. We are given that this value will decrease by half of its current amount every 35 hours. First, we'll determine the number of times that 35 goes into 140. This will reveal the number of times we should divide the sample by 2:
140 ÷ 35 = 4
We have now proven that there are 4 periods of 35 hours in 140 hours. This means that we will divide the sample in half a total of 4 times, as follows:
Base on the pythagorean theorem, we have : a² + b² = c². The first set : 4,5,6 - 4² + 5² = 6² (a possible set) The second set : 6² + 8² = 10² (another possible set) The last set : 5² + 12² = 13² (also possible)
There are a lot more sets, but I'll only list 3. Hope this helps :)
