Bismuth-212 has a half-life of 60.5 minutes. Find the amount of bismuth-212 left from a 100-gram sample after 242 minutes

1 answer:

5 0

Notice that 242 = 4*60.5. This means after 242 minutes, the sample decays to $\dfrac1{2^4}=\dfrac1{16}$ of its original amount. So you end up with

$\dfrac{100\,\mathrm g}{16}=\boxed{6.25\,\mathrm g}$

What is the volume of this triangular Pyramid photo attached

storchak [24]

To find the volume of a triangular pyramid, the formula is:

$V=\frac{1}{3}(Area\text{ }of\text{ }thebase)(height)$

So we start by finding the area of the base, which is in the shape of a right triangle in this case.

The area of a right triangle is equal to 1/2 x base x height.

$\begin{gathered} A=\frac{1}{2}bh \\ \\ A=\frac{1}{2}(5)(6) \\ \\ A=15\text{ square feet} \end{gathered}$

We use this area to find the volume.

$\begin{gathered} V=\frac{1}{3}Ah \\ \\ V=\frac{1}{3}(15)(6) \\ \\ V=30\text{ cubic feet} \end{gathered}$

The volume of the triangular pyramid is 30 cubic feet.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: 800/x=100/17

(800/x)*x=(100/17)*x - we multiply both sides of the equation by x

800=5.88235294118*x - we divide both sides of the equation by (5.88235294118) to get x

800/5.88235294118=x

136=x

x=136

83% of 800=664
