Answer:

  14,146 years

Step-by-step explanation:

The annual multiplier is (1 -0.0049%) = 0.999951. We want to find the number of times this needs to be multiplied to make the product 1/2.

  0.5 = 0.999951^t

  log(0.5) = t·log(0.999951)

  log(0.5)/log(0.999951) = t ≈ 14,145.514

The half-life is about 14,146 years.

A retangle has an area of 30 square meters and a perimeter of 34 meters what are the dimensions of the retangle
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer: Length = 15 meters

Width = 2 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a rectangle = 2l + 2w

Area of a rectangle = l × w

where l = length

w = width

Therefore,

2l + 2w = 34 ...... i

l × w = 30 ........ ii

From equation i

2l + 2w = 34

Divide through by 2.

l + w = 17 ...... iii

Then, l = 17 - w ........ iv

Put equation iv into ii

l × w = 30

(17 - w) × w = 30

17w - w² = 30

w² - 17w + 30 = 0

w² - 15w - 2w + 30 = 0

w(w - 15) - 2(w - 15) = 0

(w - 2) = 0

w = 0 + 2 = 2

w - 15 = 0

w = 0 + 15 = 15

Length = 15 meters

Width = 2 meters
