the volume of a triangular prism is increased by a factor of 8. By what factor is the surface area increased?

Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
when all the lengths are multiplied by x (length scale factor), the volumes are multiplied by x³ (volume scale factor).
∴ when volume scale factor = 8
the length scale factor = ∛8 = 2
while When all the lengths are multiplied by x (length scale factor), the areas are multiplied by x² (surface area scale factor).
∴ when the length scale factor = 2
the surface area scale factor = 2² = 4

∠F and ∠G are supplementary angles. If m∠F is two less than six times the measure of ∠G, find the measures of both angles

Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

∠ G = 26°, ∠ F = 154°

Step-by-step explanation:

Express ∠ F in terms of ∠ G, that is

F = 6G - 2

and since the angles are supplementary, then

G + 6G - 2 = 180, that is

7G - 2 = 180 ( add 2 to both sides )

7G = 182 ( divide both sides by 7 )

G = 26

Thus

∠ G = 26° and ∠ F = 6(26) - 2 = 156 - 2 = 154°

The half-life of cesium-137 is 30 years. Suppose we have a 180-mg sample. (a) Find the mass that remains after t years. (b) How

DedPeter [7]

Answer:

a) $Q(t) = 180e^{-0.023t}$

b) 11.4mg of cesium-137 remains after 120 years.

c) 225.8 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

The following equation is used to calculate the amount of cesium-137:

$Q(t) = Q(0)e^{-rt}$

In which Q(t) is the amount after t years, Q(0) is the initial amount, and r is the rate at which the amount decreses.

(a) Find the mass that remains after t years.

The half-life of cesium-137 is 30 years.

This means that Q(30) = 0.5Q(0). We apply this information to the equation to find the value of r.

$Q(t) = Q(0)e^{-rt}$

$0.5Q(0) = Q(0)e^{-30r}$

$e^{-30r} = 0.5$

Applying ln to both sides of the equality.

$\ln{e^{-30r}} = \ln{0.5}$

$-30r = \ln{0.5}$

$r = \frac{\ln{0.5}}{-30}$

$r = 0.023$

So

$Q(t) = Q(0)e^{-0.023t}$

180-mg sample, so Q(0) = 180

$Q(t) = 180e^{-0.023t}$

(b) How much of the sample remains after 120 years?

This is Q(120).

$Q(t) = 180e^{-0.023t}$

$Q(120) = 180e^{-0.023*120}$

$Q(120) = 11.4$

11.4mg of cesium-137 remains after 120 years.

(c) After how long will only 1 mg remain?

This is t when Q(t) = 1. So

$Q(t) = 180e^{-0.023t}$

$1 = 180e^{-0.023t}$

$e^{-0.023t} = \frac{1}{180}$

$e^{-0.023t} = 0.00556$

Applying ln to both sides

$\ln{e^{-0.023t}} = \ln{0.00556}$

$-0.023t = \ln{0.00556}$

$t = \frac{\ln{0.00556}}{-0.023}$

$t = 225.8$

225.8 years.
