Answer:

56.42 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial sample= y0 = 800

After 13 minutes , amount = 320

Y= y0e-kt

320 = 800e-k(13)

320/800 = e-k13

0.4 = e-k13

In0.4 = -k13

-0.91629= -k13

0.07048= k

Y = 800e-0.07048t

Minutes when the bacterial present will be 15

15 = 800e-0.07048t

15/800= e-0.07048t

0.01875 = e-0.07048t

In 0.01875 = -0.07048t

-3.97656 = -0.07048t

-3.97656/-0.07048= t

56.42 = t

56.42 minutes

4 sides needed, total length thus 4*s.
