I would think it is a 90 degree angle, sorry if I’m wrong.
We need the half-life of C-14 which is 5,730 years.
Now, we will need a half-life equation:
elapsed time = half-life * log (bgng amt / ending amt) / log 2
We'll say beginning amount = 100 and ending amount = 41
elapsed time = 5,730 * log (100/41) / log 2
elapsed time = 5,730 * log (

) / 0.30102999566
elapsed time = 5,730 * 0.38721614327 / 0.30102999566
elapsed time =

Answer:
x = 90
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the triangles are similar then the ratios of corresponding sides are in proportion, that is
=
, substitute values
=
( cross- multiply )
3x = 270 ( divide both sides by 3 )
x = 90
Step-by-step explanation:
Hypotenuse : Opposite the right angle.
Opposite : Opposite the angle.
Adjacent : the last side left.
Your formulas.
Soh Cah Toa (Sin Cos Tan)
You'll be using Cos (Cah) because hypotenuse and adjacent are the only sides with something in it.
You rearranged formula :
Side length × Cos (Angle) = your answer to x
