<span>the perimeter of the cross section is 16.5 inches.
the perimeter of the cross section is 2*L plus 2*W where L is the length of the cross section and W is the width of the cross section.
since L = 2*W, the perimeter becomes 4*W plus 2*W = 6*W.

16.5 / 6 = 2.75 inches.
W = 2.75 inches.
L = 5.5 inches.
P = 2*L + 2*W = 2*5.5 + 2*2.75 = 11 + 5.5 = 16.5 </span>

The core melt- down and explosions at the nuclear reactor in Chernobyl in 1986 released large amounts of strontium-90, which dec
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

If S(t) is the amount of strontium-90 present in the area in year t, and it decays at a rate of 2.5% per year, then

S(t+1)=(1-0.025)S(t)=0.975S(t)

Let S(0)=s be the starting amount immediately after the nuclear reactor explodes. Then

S(t+1)=0.975S(t)=0.975^2S(t-1)=0.975^3S(t-2)=\cdots=0.975^{t+1}S(0)

or simply

S(t)=0.975^ts

So that after 50 years, the amount of strontium-90 that remains is approximately

S(50)=0.975^{50}s\approx0.282s

or about 28% of the original amount.

We can confirm this another way; recall the exponential decay formula,

S(t)=se^{kt}

where t is measured in years. We're told that 2.5% of the starting amount s decays after 1 year, so that

0.975s=se^k\implies k=\ln0.975

Then after 50 years, we have

S(50)=se^{50k}\approx0.282s

Translation: 6 units right and 3 units down<br> s(-3, 3), C(-1, 4), W(-2,-1)
sdas [7]
S (3, 0)
C (5, 1)
W (4, -4)

Explanation
You take the first number and add 6 to it and you get the new number and then you take the second number and subtract 3 from it

S: -3 + 6 = 3
S- 3 - 3 = 0

C: -1 + 6 = 5
C: 4 - 3 = 1

W: -2 + 6 = 4
W: -1 - 3 = -4
