What is the value of x?

Mathematics
1 answer:
lorasvet [3.4K]3 years ago
7 0

Answer: 12

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use what is called geometric mean to solve this.

The hypotenuse of this triangle is split into two sections. One section corresponds to/equal to the altitude which is our "X", which corresponds to/equal to the second section.

You find "X" by using geometric mean and the proportion:

16/X=X/9

Then cross multiply to get 16 x 9= 144

then 144=x²

Solve for X.

X=12

After 3 days a sample of radon-222 has decayed to 58% of its original amount.
Rina8888 [55]
The half-life of the radioactive substance can be determined through teh equation ln 2 = k (t 1/2) where k is equal to ln (1/(1-0.58)) / 3. Hence t 1/2 is equal to 2.40 days. To decay to 10% of the original amount, ln (1/0.90) / ( ln2) / 2.40, time is equal to 0.37 days.
