Therefore, the bones were 6612.5 years old at the time they were discovered.
<h3><u>Half life</u></h3>
Given that the radioactive element carbon-14 has a half-life of 5750 years, and a scientist determined that the bones from a mastodon had lost 57.5% of their carbon-14, to determine how old were the bones at the time they were discovered, the following calculation must be made:
- 50 = 5750
- 100 = 11500
- 57.5 = X
- 57.5 x 11500 / 100 = X
- 6612.5 = X
Therefore, the bones were 6612.5 years old at the time they were discovered.

Answer:
The formula to find a circle's area π (radius)2 usually expressed as π⋅r2 where r is the radius of a circle. The area of a circle is all the space inside a circle's circumference.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
A). PR = 16.13 ft
B). QR = 9.64 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Part (A).
From the figure attached,
ΔPQR is a right triangle,
m(PQ) = 14 ft
m(QR) = 8 ft
By applying Pythagoras theorem,
Hypotenuse² = (Leg 1)² + (Leg 2)²
(PR)² = (PQ)² + (QR)²
(PR)² = (14)² + (8)²
PR = √260
= 16.125
≈ 16.13 ft
Part (B).
If PR = 17 feet
and PQ = 14 feet
By applying Pythagoras theorem in ΔPQR,
PR² = PQ² + QR²
(17)² = (14)² + (QR)²
(QR)² = 289 - 196
QR = √93
= 9.644
≈ 9.64 ft
