In the late nineteenth century, the scientist Marie Curie performed experiments that led to the discovery of radioactive substances. A radioactive substance is a substance that gives off radiation as it decays. Scientists describe the rate at which a radioactive substance decays as its half-life. The half-life of a substance is the amount of time it takes for one-half of the substance to decay. Radium has a half-life of 1600 years. How much radium will be left from a 1000-gram sample after 1600 years?

Step-by-step explanation:

Half life is the time taken by a radioactive substance to reduce of half of its original size

If the half life of radium is 1600, this means that the original radioactive substance N0 have reduced to N0/2 after 1600 years

if we are given N0 = 1000grams

The amount of the substance that will remain after 1600 years will be N0/2 i.e 1000/2 = 500g

Hence 500 grams of radium will be left after 600years

there are lots of ways.   pick's theorem tells us if the vertices are lattice points the area a is

a = b/2 + i - 1

where b is the number of boundary lattice points and i is the number of interior lattice points.

in the figure i count b=16, i=50 so

a = 8 + 50 - 1 = 57

let's try the shoelace formula.   the area is half the sum of the cross products of the sides.  

a(-2,6)   -2(2)-6(-5) = 26

b(-5,2)   -5(-3) - 2(-2) = 19

c(-2,-3) -2(-3) - (-3)(4) = 18

d(4,-3)   4(3) - (-3)(5) = 27

e(5,3)   5(3) - 3(1) = 12

f(1,3)     1(6) - 3(-2) = 12

a(-2,6)

each of the cross products is twice the area of the triangle with the associated side and one vertex the origin. so the area of abo=26/2=13.

area = (1/2) (26 + 19 +   18 + 27 + 12 + 12) = 57

that checks!

could u provide us some answer choices or hmm idk maybe a table for us to anser with ? ?
