Answer:

1758 years

Step-by-step explanation:

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

t1/2 = half life of the C-14

t= time taken

No= amount of radioactive material originally present

N= amount of isotope after time t.

But N= 0.81 No

0.693/5715= 2.303/t log No/0.81No

0.00012 = 0.211/t

t =0.211 /0.00012

t= 1758 years

A storage container is rectangular and has a length of 15ft and a width of 4ft. It will hold 270 cubic feet of materials. What i
KonstantinChe [14]

Volume of a rectangular prism = l × w × h.

In this case,

V = 270 cubic feet

l = 15 feet

w = 4 ft

h = ?

Plug our values into the volume formula.

270 cubic feet = 15 feet × 4 feet × h.

Simplify the right side

270 = 60 × h.

Divide each side by 60.

4.5 = h

The height is 4.5 feet.
