Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let AC = x

AB - AC = 4 cm

AB = 4 +x  ----------------(I)

Pythagorean theorem

AB² + AC² =BC²

(4 + x)² + x² = 9²

Use the identity (a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b² where a = 4 & b = x

4² +2*4*x  +x² + x²= 81

16 + 8x + 2x² = 81

2x² + 8x + 16 - 81 = 0

2x² + 8x - 65= 0

a = 2 ; b = 8 ; c = -65

D = b² - 4ac

   = 8² - 4*2*(-65)

  = 64 +  520

D = 584

√D = √584 = 24.16

x=\frac{-b+\sqrt{D}}{2a} \ or \ x =\frac{-b-\sqrt{D}}{2a}\\\\x= \frac{-8+24.16}{2*2} \ or \ x = \frac{-8-24.6}{2*2}   {Ignore this as it is negative.}

x = 16.16/4

x = 4.04

AC = 4.04 Cm

AB = 4 + 4.04 = 8.04 cm

Area of triangle ABC = \frac{1}{2}* base * height

                                   =\frac{1}{2}*4.04 *8.04\\\\= 2.02 * 8.04

                                   = 16.24 sq.cm

You have 896 grams of a radioactive
Margarita [4]

Every 56 seconds, the radioactive substance is divided in half.

224 / 56 = 4

We need to cut the substance in half 4 times.

896 / 2 = 448

448 / 2 = 224

224 / 2 = 112

112 / 2 = 56

After 224 seconds, there will be 56 grams of the radioactive substance left over
