The isotope known as carbon-14 is radioactive and will decay into the stable form nitrogen-14. As long as an organism is alive,

it ingests air, and the level of carbon-14 in the organism remains the same. When it dies, it no longer absorbs carbon-14 from the air, and the carbon-14 in the organism decays.
The half-life of carbon-14 is 5770 years. Assume an organic sample is 15,000 years old.

Determine how many half-lives are in 15,000 years. Then use this answer to determine what percentage of the original amount of carbon-14 remains after 15,000 years. Round your answer as a percentage to the nearest whole number.

Answer:

  • about 2.6 half-lives
  • 16% remains

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of half-lives is ...

  (15000 yr)/(5770 yr/half-life) = 2.6 half-lives

__

Then the amount of C14 remaining after 15000 years is ...

  0.5^2.6 ≈ 0.1649 ≈ 16%

Epic math question that i cant solve

The area of the shaded region can be found by subtracting the area of the inside rectangle from the outside rectangle

area of outside: 6 X 10y —> 60y
area of inside: 3 X 5x —> 15x

so the area of the shaded region is 60y-15x

the GCF is 15, so the factored form is: 15(4y-x)

Find the area of the shaded region round to the nearest tenth
Alenkinab [10]

Answer: 818.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the area of a sector formula, we get the area of the entire sector is (\pi)(27.8^{2})\left(\frac{150}{360} \right).

Using the formula A=\frac{1}{2} ab \sin C, we get the area of the triangle is \frac{1}{2}(27.8)(27.8)(\sin 150^{\circ}).

So, the area of the shaded sector is (\pi)(27.8^{2})\left(\frac{150}{360} \right)-\frac{1}{2}(27.8)(27.8)(\sin 150^{\circ}) \approx \boxed{818.4}

The formula for the volume of a pyramid is (1/3)area of the base x height.
And the questions gives us all the information we need! All we need to do is plug in the values.

V = 1/3 b x h
V = 1/3 x 625 x 30
V = 10 x 625
V = 6250 cubic meters

Hope this helps!
