This is a fairly easy half-life problem
Each half-life reduces the radioactive material by one half.
So after 72 hours the radioactive material would have undergone 6 half-lives. 
2^6 = 64.
So, there will be one sixty-fourth of the material left.
520 / 64 = 8.125 grams will remain.
radioactive decay is an exponential decay function.

Answer:

Angle measure KRQ is 146 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to find the measure of the indicated angle

From what we have in the question;

angle measure KRQ is corresponding to angle measure KNM

Mathematically, when two angles are corresponding to each other, their values are equal

What this means is that the value of the measure of KRQ is 146 degrees too
