Answer:

In order to do so, we need to use basic algebra. The angles in a kite add up to 360 degrees. so we form the following equation.

x + y + y + 16 = 360

x + y + y = 344 <----(360 -16)

Each letter or variable represents an angle measure. the measures of the three angles left. The 16 degrees is on the bottom of the kite and the angle opposite is the top angle. the two side angles will be the same measure that's why they are both y.

x + 2y = 344

The two side angles will be 90 or greater because there is only 1 acute angle. 90 is the smallest number that can be chosen. so we do the following.

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 2(90) = 344

x + 180 = 344

x = 344-180

x = 164

THE MAXIMUM WHOLE NUMBER MEASURE OF THE ANGLE OPPOSITE OF THE 16 DEGREE ACUTE ANGLE IS 164 DEGREES*

Element X decays radioactively with a half life of 14 minutes. If there are 760 grams of Element X, how long, to the nearest ten
Mkey [24]

Answer:

85.5 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of an element that will remain after time t can be expressed as a function of initial amount N0, time t, and half life th as;

Nt = N0 × e^(-λt)

Where;

Decay constant λ = ln(2)/th, substituting into the equation;

Nt = N0 × e^(-ln(2)t/th)

We need to make t the subject of formula;

Nt/N0 = e^(-ln(2)t/th)

ln(Nt/N0) = -ln(2)t/th

t = ln(Nt/N0) ÷ -ln(2)/th

Given;

Initial amount N0 = 760g

Final amount Nt = 11 g

Half life th = 14 minutes

the nearest tenth of a minute, would it take the element to decay to 11 grams can be derived using the formula;

t = ln(Nt/N0) ÷ -ln(2)/th

Substituting the given values;

t = ln(11/760) ÷ -ln(2)/14

t = 85.5 minutes
