Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Use Pythagorean to find the missing side x of the triangle.
<u>It is a hypotenuse with other sides 18 in and half of 15 in:</u>
<u>The perimeter is:</u>
X ÷ 9 = 6
Multiply both sides by 9
x ÷ 9 • 9 = 6 • 9
x = 54
We need the half-life of C-14 which is 5,730 years.
Now, we will need a half-life equation:
elapsed time = half-life * log (bgng amt / ending amt) / log 2
We'll say beginning amount = 100 and ending amount = 41
elapsed time = 5,730 * log (100/41) / log 2
elapsed time = 5,730 * log (

) / 0.30102999566
elapsed time = 5,730 * 0.38721614327 / 0.30102999566

Since your looking for the increase you can take the number from 2004
and 2014 and turn it into a fraction
54/135
now that you've done that times it by 100 like this
54/135 x 100=
40
and that will give you the percentile which is:
40%

To multiply, you multiply across. So it would be 3×1=3 and 10×6=60
Which will result in
but in order to simplify it, you find a common factor. The common factor is 3. 3÷3=1 and 60÷3=20
The answer is
