Formula for C - 14 dating:
Age = [ ln ( percent/100 ) / ln (1/2 ) ]  * 5,730 =
= [ ln ( 0.00921 ) / ln ( 0.5 ) ] * 5.730 =
= [( - 4.68746 ) : ( - 0.6931478 )] * 5,730 =
= 6.7626 * 5,730 = 38,749.56 ≈ 39,000 ( rounded to the nearest thousand )
Answer: The person died about 39,000 years ago.

timurjin [86]
First, all the heights have to be converted to similar units, say feet.

Therefore,
Building= 20 feet
Tree = 252*0.083333 = 21 feet
Flagpole = 6*3 = 18 feet

The tallest of the three is the tree and thus should cast the longest shadow. However, it should be noted that at exactly noon when the sun is overhead, all the three will have equal length of shadow (that is, 0 feet long).

\huge \qquad \sf \: Answer

Here we go ~

1. A circle can be named by their Centre, so here in the diagram it's :

  • Circle A

2. Name 4 radii :

Radii are the line segments that joins the centre and boundary of circle.

They are :

  • FA
  • GA
  • BA
  • CA

3. 2 Major arcs :

considering two points on a circle, and joining them forms a curve ( you can say part of circumference )

When we consider two points two arcs are formed and the arc with more length is known as Major Arc

That is :

  • Major arc ECF
  • Major arc BEC

4. A Semicircle :

Semicircle is special arc which is formed when two arcs formed by the points are equals to one another... it's also half the Perimeter of circle.

that is :

  • Arc CF is a Semicircle

5. 3 minor arcs :

The arc formed by two points having lesser length is known as minor arc.

that is :

  • Arc EF
  • Arc BG
  • Arc FG

6. 3 Central angles :

Central angles are angles formed by arcs on centre of the circle ~

that is :

  • Angle FAB
  • Angle BAC
  • Angle GAB

7. A diameter :

Diameter is a chord that passes through centre of the circle.

  • CF

8. Congruent Angles :

In the given figure, there are two equal/congruent angles that are ~

  • Angle BAG and Angle GAF

9. Adjacent arcs :

The arcs that have one common end point are known as Adjacent arcs ~

that are :

  • Arc FG and Arc GB
