The amount of carbon-14 present obeys an exponential decay law.

 

A(t) = A(0)e-^kt

 

Get k from the half-life:

 

0.5 = 1e-^k(5600)

 

k = ln(0.5) / (-5600 years) = 1.2378 x 10^-4 years^-1

 

If only 73% of the carbon-14 remains after time T, then

 

0.73 = 1e^-kT

 

T = ln(0.73) / (-1.2378 x 10^-4 years^-1) = 2542.5 years

 

The tree has been dead for about 2542.5 years.

Find the value of the triangle shown below <br> X=
SpyIntel [72]
This is a isosceles triangle. all sides degrees added together (triangle) is equal to 180.

we know one side is 55°, and since its isosceles, it will be congruent on both sides. so there are 2 55°.

since the sum of all angles is 180°, the equation will be 55°+55°+x=180

combine like terms (55+55), which equals to 110.

last, 180-110 = 70

so the answer will be x = 70°
