Answer: 26.4\ \text{days}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Half life of radioactive substance is T_{\frac{1}{2}}=20\ \text{days}

Initial amount A_o=2\ \text{days}

Amount left at any time is given by

\Rightarrow A=A_o2^{\dfrac{-t}{T_{\frac{1}{2}}}}\\\\\Rightarrow 2=52^{\dfrac{-t}{20}}\\\\\Rightarrow 0.4=2^{\dfrac{-t}{20}}\\\\\Rightarrow 2^{\dfrac{t}{20}}=2.5\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{t}{20}\ln 2=\ln (2.5)\\\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{20\ln (2.5)}{\ln 2}\\\\\Rightarrow t=26.4\ \text{days}

It takes 26.4 days to reach 2 gm.

kozerog [31]

Answer: The area of the enclosure is 1,029 square meters

Step-by-step explanation: The first thing is to use the unit of measurement required by the question, and to do this we need to convert what we have to what is required.

If the scale of the diagram is given as every 4cm represents 7m, that means, every unit of the actual measurement would be given as

(X/4) x 7

For the length of the enclosure, we can determine that as follows;

Length = (28/4) x 7

Length = 7 x 7

Length = 49m

And for the width,

Width = (12/4) x 7

Width = 3 x 7

Width = 21m

Therefore, the area is calculated as,

Area = L x W

Area = 49 x 21

Area = 1029 m²

Point E is the midpoint of ab and point f is the midpoint of CD
Lorico [155]

AB is bisected by CD (TRUE). This is True because E is the midpoint between A and B and CD passes through E

CD is bisected by AB (FALSE) CD is bisected by point F and not AB

AE = 1/2 * AB (TRUE) since E is the midpoint of AB , E divides AB into two equal halves

EF = 1/2 * ED (FALSE) The true statement would have been CF = 1/2* CD

FD = EB (FALSE) sinc we do not know if CD and AB are of the same lengths

CE + EF = ED (TRUE) since F is the midpoint the sum of CE and EF is equal to ED
