Fermium-253 has a half life of three days. A sample contains 400 g. How long will it take for the sample to decay to 100 g?

1 answer:

4 0

After the first three days, the sample size will be half of the initial; therefore, 400g/2= 200g. However, it is asking how long will it take to decay to 100g, so we will take 200g/2= 100g, which will take another three days. It will take 2 half-lives, which will encompass 6 days.

The vertices of a triangle are A(1, –9), B(0, –3), C(–4, –5). Fine the length of each side. What type of triangle is triangle AB

Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

AB = √37

BC = 2√5

AC = √41

Type: SCALENE TRIANGLE

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the coordinates

A(1, –9), B(0, –3), C(–4, –5)

We are to find the length of each sides first. Using the formula for calculating the distance between two points, we will have;

For A(1, –9) and B(0, –3)

AB = √(-3+9)²+(0-1)²

AB = √6²+(-1)²

AB = √36+1

AB = √37

For coordinates B(0, –3) and C(–4, –5)

BC = √(-5+3)²+(-4-0)²

BC= √(-2)²+(-4)²

BC = √4+16

BC = √20

BC = 2√5

For coordinates A(1, –9), C(–4, –5)

AC = √(-5+9)²+(-4-1)²

AC= √(4)²+(-5)²

AC = √16+25

AC = √41

<em>Since the sides of the triangles are all different, hence the triangle is a SCALENE triangle</em>

the area of a window is 40 square feet. the length is the square root of 20 feet. what is the width of the window

Irina18 [472]

----------------------------------------------------
Given information
----------------------------------------------------
Area = 40ft²
Length = √20 ft

----------------------------------------------------
Formula
----------------------------------------------------
Area = Length x Width

----------------------------------------------------
Find Width
----------------------------------------------------
40 = √20 x width
Width = 40 ÷ √20
Width = 40 ÷ 2√5
Width = 20 ÷ √5
$Width = \frac{20}{ \sqrt{5} }$

$Answer: \boxed {Width = \frac{20}{ \sqrt{5} }}$
