You would set up a ratio using tangent
tan 60 = x/120
120 tan 60 = x
x = 207.84 m

Answer:

D. 207.84 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The side we are given is adjacent to, or beside, the 60° angle. The side we are finding the measure of is opposite this angle.

The ratio of opposite to adjacent is tangent; setting up the tangent equation, we have

tan 60 = x/120

Multiply both sides by 120:

120(tan 60) = (x/120)*120

120(tan 60) = x

207.84 = x

a 23 gram sample of a substance thats a by-product of fireworks has a K-value of .13. whats the substances half life in days

nata0808 [166]

Given:
Initial mass, m₀ = 23 g
Decay constant, k = 0.13

Exponential decay obeys the equation
$m(t)=m_{0} e^{-kt}$
where t = time, days

For half life, the mass is m = m₀/2.
Therefore
$e^{-0.13t} = \frac{1}{2} \\ -0.13t = ln(0.5)\\t= \frac{ln(0.5)}{-0.13} =5.33$

Answer: The half life is 5.33 days
