Radium-226 has a half-life of 1660 years. How many years does it take a radium sample to decay to 55% of the original amount? Round your answer to the nearest year.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

1432 years

Step-by-step explanation:

A(t) = I(0.5)^t/t1/2

Where t1/2 = half life = 1660

Final amount, A(t) = 0.55 of its original amount =. 0.55I

Hence, we have

0.55I = I(0.5)^t/1660

Take the log of both sides

Log(0.55) = log(0.5)^t/1660

t/1660 = log(0.55) / log(0.5)

t/1660 = 0.8624964

t = 0.8624964 * 1660

t = 1431.7441

t = 1432(nearest whole number)

prove that the triangles are congruent by the HL theorem?

Answers

Answer:

D - Line AC is congruent to line DF

Explanation:

Options A and B are definitely incorrect. And while lines AB and DE seem congruent, there is no congruency line in between to confirm that. So option C is incorrect.
As for option D, there is a congruency line in between that confirms they are both congruent.

The additional piece of information would allow you to prove that the triangles are congruent by the HL theorem is AB ≅ DE

What is HL theorem?

The HL Postulate states that if the hypotenuse and leg of one right triangle are congruent to the hypotenuse and leg of another right triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.

Given that two triangles Δ ABC and Δ DEF,

To prove them congruent by HL Postulate, we need one more side to be congruent, as the hypotenuse of both are already congruent.

Therefore, the sides should be either BC ≅ FE or AB ≅ DE

In options, AB ≅ DE is given.

Hence, The additional piece of information would allow you to prove that the triangles are congruent by the HL theorem is AB ≅ DE

A company has recently been hiring new employees. Today the company has 35% more employees than it did a year ago. If there are currently
43,200 employees, how many employees did the company have a year ago?

Answers

Answer:

28,080

Step-by-step explanation:

Turn 35% into a decimal (.35)Multiply .35 by the amount of current employees (.35 * 43200 = 15120)Subtract the current amount of employees (43200) by 15120 (the amount of employees that joined) which should be 28080. This is your answer.

Complete question :

Sarah, Toby, and their mother run an online store called Unique Bracelets that sells handmade bracelets consisting of unique, individually painted charms. Each bracelet they sell consists of 12 small charms and 5 large charms. Each order also gets 5 blank spacer charms to use to separate charms or fill in the bracelet. They do not sell charms separately and do not sell bracelets in parts.

(a) Write an equation showing the number of charms, y, needed for x bracelets purchased in an order. Describe what the equation means in a real-world context.

(b) Sarah’s and Toby’s mother says the order she is filling needs 158 charms. How many bracelets were purchased in this order?

(c) Toby says they don’t have enough charms to fill an order that needs 264 charms. Sarah says it’s notpossible for an order to need 264 charms. Is Sarah right? Why or why not? Justify your answer.

Answer:

y = 17x + 5 ;

9 bracelets ;

Sarah is right

Step-by-step explanation:

Contents per bracelet :

Small charms per bracelet = 12

Large charms per bracelet = 5

Blank spacer charms per order = 5

Number charms, y needed for X bracelets in an order ;

1 order ; x bracelets

12 + 5 = 17 small and large charms

5 = black spacer charms per order

y = 17x + 5

B.)

Order requiring 158 charms, number of bracelets :

y = 158

158 = 17x + 5

158 - 5 = 17x

153 = 17x

x = 153 / 17

x = 9 bracelets

Order requiring 264 charms

y = 264

264 = 17x + 5

264 - 5 = 17x

259 = 17x

x = 259 / 17

x = 15.23 bracelets

Sarah is right, the number of bracelets should be a positive integer and not a decimal.

Answers

Answer:

10. 264

11. 13

Step-by-step explanation:

10- When we are doing perimeter we add all the sides together. Since it's a square this time, we know all the sides are even at 66ft.

 66+66+66+66= 264

 I added 4 times for each side we have and we get the perimeter of 264

11- When dealing with area, all we need is two numbers. To get area we multiply the length and width. If we have the area and want either length or width, we can still easily do that. All we have to do is divide the area from your given number.

 65 divided by 5 is 13

 Area divided by Length is Width

Answer:

#10= 264

#11= 13

Step-by-step explanation:

#10: We can see that this is a square because it says so in the question so we can assume that if it is a square then all the lengths and widths are 66 feet. 4(66) = 264 or 66+66+66+66 = 264

#11: 65/5 = 13 because it is dealing with area, simply just divide the total of area by the known length to get the width.

15+x=15+5=20

They're both the same.

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

x = 5

20 = 20

2x-7=8. find the value of x​

Answers

The answer is X=15/2
Move all terms that don't contain
x to the right side and solve.
So you would first Add 7 to both sides. 2x=8+7
Then simply 8+7 to 15 so 2x=15
Then Divide both sides by 2
To get x=15/2

He worked 35 hours per week for 46 weeks in the year.
What is James' average pay per hour this year?
Give your answer to 2 dp.

Answers

Answer: £11.69

Explanation:

1) Work out 2% of £1600:
1600 x 2/100 =36

2) Add it on to the original number to get his new monthly pay:
1600 + 36 = £1636

a) finding the amount of months he worked:
46 / 4 = 11.5 months

b) Divide 11.5 into 2 bits and add them on:
1636 x 11 = 17997
1636 x 0.5 = 818

17997 + 818 = £18814

Answer:

[tex]\frac{-1}{7}[/tex] or 0.14

Step-by-step explanation:

To find slope you can use the formula

mx=[tex]\frac{y_{2}-y_{1} }{x_{2}-x_{1} }[/tex]

or

[tex]\frac{rise}{run}[/tex]

Rise over run:

Rise over run is the easiest of the two so we'll be using that one first for this question, but both should give you the same answer

To find rise over run, select the points and see how many points up or down you must got to make it the same level as the other point

In this case, the point (-3,1) would have a run of -1 because you have to move down one

To find run, now that you have rise start from that point and count how far you have to go to get to the next point. You should be going in a straight line.

The run would be 7.

Now you make it a fraction/division problem

[tex]\frac{rise}{run} =\frac{-1}{7}[/tex]

-0.14285714285714285714285714285714 <- decimal value

-0.14

Depending on what it means by reduce, your answer will either be -1/7 or the decimal. Use the reduced decimal value if it's asking for a decimal

I've included a picture in case my explanation was not satisfactory or you need a visual.

Slope form:

Identify the two points

First one will be (-3,1)

Second one would be (4,0)

Now label them

-3 will be x1

1 is y1

4 is x2

0 is y2

You will be using [tex]\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}[/tex]

Put the values into the equation

[tex]\frac{0-1}{4--3} =\frac{0-1}{4+3} =\frac{-1}{7}[/tex]

You get the same thing as the previous way.

Same answer
