Answer:

73.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete, the complete question is shown in the image attached.

Half life (t1/2) = 9 days

Time taken (t) = 4 days

From;

0.693/t1/2 = 2.303/t log (No/N)

Substituting values;

0.693/9 = 2.303/4 log(No/N)

0.693/9 × 4/2.303= log(No/N)

2.772/20.727= log(No/N)

Antilog (2.772/20.727)=No/N

1.36 = No/N

Therefore;

N/No = (1.36)^-1

N/No = 0.735

Percentage remaining after 4 days= 0.735× 100= 73.5%

What is the measure of the other acute angle ?
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

62^{o}

Step-by-step explanation:

All the angles in a triangle add up to 180^{o}

Every right angle triangle has a right angle in it which is 90^{o}

So to find the remaining angle, you do 180^{o} - 90^{o} - 28^{o} = 62^{o}

What is the scale factor
nadezda [96]

Answer:

2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it's from a big square to a smaller square, the smaller number will be at the top. Also, use the same side to find the scale factor, but since this is a square and all sides of a square are equal, it doesn't matter but in other shapes it does so practice i guess:

Left side of big square: 5

Left side of small square: 2

So scale is 2/5

To confirm:

5 · 2/5 = 10/5 = 2, we're right
