Answer:
This is a radioactive decay / half-life problem.
Initial amount of C 14 = 100% Present Amount = 57%
k = .0001 (that value should be negative)
Nt = No * e^ (k*t)
You need to solve that equation for "time" (equation attached)
time = natural log (Ending amount / Starting Amount) / k
time = natural log (57% / 100%) / -.0001
time = ln (.57) / -.0001
time = -.56211891815 / -.0001
time = 5,621.2 years (age of the bird skeleton)
These problems are quite complicated but I think I know this pretty well.

Step-by-step explanation:
The given rectangle has diagonals have the endpoints P(-3, -2) ,I(4, -7) and A(4, -2) ,D(-3, -7)
The diagonals of the rectangle bisect each other so we use the midpoint formula to find their point of intersection.
The midpoint formula is;
We use any pair of endpoints of the diagonals to find the point of intersection.
Using A(4, -2) ,D(-3, -7)
