<span>The answer is 9,990 years. Using the exponential decay question, we can figure out how long it will take Plutonium-240 to decay from 27 grams to 9 grams. Setting the equation up looks like this, 9 = 27 e^ (-0.00011 t). From this you get, 0.333333 = e ^(-0.00011 t). Next, you simplify by dividing both sides by the natural log, -1.0986 = -0.00011 t. Finally, you solve by dividing both sides by -0.00011, giving 9,987 years for t, rounded up to 9,990 years.</span>

What is the measure of angle R shown below, given r = 10, q = 20, and Q = 100°? Round the answer to the nearest tenth.0.5° 2.0°
Korolek [52]

Answer : 29.5°

Given r = 10, q = 20, and Q = 100°

From the attached figure we can see that two sides and one angle is given

We use sine rule to find angle R

\frac{sin A}{a} = \frac{Sin B}{b}  = \frac{Sin C}{c}

In triangle QRS

\frac{sin Q}{q} = \frac{Sin R}{r}  = \frac{Sin S}{s}

r = 10, q = 20, and Q = 100°

\frac{sin Q}{q} = \frac{Sin R}{r}

Replace all the values

\frac{sin 100}{20} = \frac{sin R}{10}

\frac{sin(100)*10}{20} = sin(R)

\frac{0.984807753*10}{20} =sin R

0.4932403876 = sin (R)

R= sin^{-1} (0.4932403876)

R= 29.5 degrees
