Answer:

The answer to your question is initial length = 10 ft final length = 14 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

length = s

Area = 196

Equation

                        (s + 4)² = 196

Expand

                        s² + 8s + 16 = 196

Solve for s

                        s² + 8s + 16 - 196 = 0

                        s² + 8s - 180 = 0

Factor

                        (s + 18)(s - 10) = 0

Find s₁ and s₂

                         s₁ + 18 = 0           s₂ - 10 = 0

                         s₁ = -18                s₂ = 10                      

Conclusion

The initial length of a side was 10 ft, because the are no negative lengths -18 is discarded.

The half-life of radioactive cobalt is 5.27 years. Suppose that a nuclear accident has left the level of cobalt radiation in a c
sweet [91]

Answer:

  35 years

Step-by-step explanation:

The proportion p that remains after y years is ...

  p = (1/2)^(y/5.27)

In order for 1/100 to remain (the level decays from 100 times to 1 times), we have ...

  .01 = .5^(y/5.27)

  log(0.01) = y/5.27·log(0.5) . . . take logs

  y = 5.27·log(0.01)/log(0.5) ≈ 35.01 ≈ 35 . . . . years

What’s the correct answer for this question?
Brut [27]

Answer:

C.

Step-by-step explanation:

First finding height using Pythagoras theorem

(H)²=(B)²+(P)²

8.2²=5.4²+P²

P² = 67.24 - 29.16

P² = 38.08

P = 6.2

Now

Volume of cone = (1/3)πr²h

= (1/3)(3.14)(5.4)²(6.2)

= (1/3)(567.9)

= 189.2 cm³

8 feet=2 \frac{2}{3} of a yard
12 inches=1/3 of a yard.

2<u />\frac{2}{3}+\frac{1}{3}=2\frac{3}{3} or 3. 

Hope this helps!
