The half-life of a radioactive isotope is the time it takes for a quantity of the isotope to be reduced to half its initial mass

Answer:

\boxed{6.875 \text{\: grams}}

Step-by-step explanation:

Half-lives are how long it takes for half of a substance to decay. If you start with a certain amount and it decays for a certain amount of half-lives, you are dividing by 2^{x}, where <em>x</em>  is equal to the amount of half-lives.

In order to solve this question, simply divide the starting value by 2 raised to the value of half-lives.

\large\boxed{\frac{220}{2^{5}}=6.875\text{\: grams}}

Answer:

Area = 3,656.6 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

Area enclosed by the track is composed of two semicircles and a rectangle.

Area = area of two semicircles + area of rectangle

= 2(½*πr²) + L*W

Where,

radius of semicircle (r) = ½of 40 m = 20 m

Length of rectangle (L) = 60 m

Width of rectangle (W) = 40 m

Plug in the values

Area = 2(½*π*20²) + 60*40

Area = 400π + 2,400

Area = 3,656.6 m² (aooroximated to nearest tenth)

A transversal intersects two parallel lines. The measures of a pair of alternate interior angles are 5v and 2w. The measures of
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

The value of v is 6° and the value of w is 15°

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

When parallel lines are cut by a transversal line, the same-side exterior angles are supplementary and each pair of alternate interior angles is equal in measure

so

5v=2w -----> equation A

10w+5v=180 ----> equation B

substitute equation A in equation B and solve for w

10w+(2w)=180

12w=180

w=15°

Find the value of v

5v=2w -----> v=2w/5

v=2(15)/5=6°

therefore

The value of v is 6° and the value of w is 15°
