Answer:

\boxed{\textbf{1700 yr}}

Step-by-step explanation:

-\dfrac{\text{d}L}{\text{d}t} = kL\\\\\dfrac{dL}{L}=-kdt\\\\\ln L = -kt + C\\\text{At t = 0, L = L$_{0}$, so C = $\ln L_{0}$}\\\ln L = -kt + \ln L_{0}\\\ln L_{0} - \ln L = kt\\\\\ln \dfrac{L_{0}}{L} =kt

Data:

L₀ = 24 g

L = 20 g

k = 0.000 11 yr⁻¹

Calculation:

\ln \dfrac{24}{20} =0.000 11t\\\\\ln 1.2 = 0.000 11t\\\\0.1823 = 0.000 11t\\\\t = \dfrac{0.1823}{0.000 11} = \textbf{1700 yr}\\\\\text{It will take } \boxed{\textbf{1700 yr}}\text{ for the polonium to decay to 20 g}

Will mark as brainliest
faust18 [17]

Answer:

127.41

Step-by-step explanation:

side KJ equals 17 which corresponds to side NM which equals 57. These two triangles are similar which means the bigger triangle will be the smaller triangle but enlarged. So 57 divided by 17 equals 3.353 and then you do the same with the other side but multiplication; 38 times 3.353 equals 127.41. :)
