What is the value of x

Mathematics
1 answer:
zzz [600]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Δ EAB and Δ EDC are similar by the AA postulate , so the ratio of corresponding sides are in proportion , that is

\frac{AB}{DC} = \frac{EA}{ED} , substitute values

\frac{10}{4} = \frac{2x+10}{x+3} ( cross- multiply )

10(x + 3) = 4(2x + 10 ) ← distribute parenthesis on both sides

10x + 30 = 8x + 40 ( subtract 8x from both sides )

2x + 30 = 40 ( subtract 30 from both sides )

2x = 10 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = 5

The half-life of radioactive strontium-90 is approximately 28 years. In 1960, radioactive strontium-90 was released into the atm
pentagon [3]

Answer: It will take about 77 years (76.8 years).

Step-by-step explanation: Time is given by the equation: N=No.e^kt. You know that the concentration has to be 15% from the original so N=15 and No=100. To determine k, you have to look at the half-life. k=ln(0.5)/half-life time. For 28 years, k=-0.0247. Replacing it back into the N=No.e^kt equation, the answer will be 76.8 years.
