15

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, first the formula for this is a^2+b^2=c^2

or leg^2+ leg^2= hypotenuse^2

so (12)^2+(9)^2=hy^2

144+81, 225=hy^2

hy=square root of 225: 15

ending amount = beginning amount / (2^n)

where "n" = number of half-lives (or elapsed time / half-life)

ending amount = 50 mg / (2 ^10 / 5.3)

ending amount = 50 mg / (2 ^ 1.8867924528)

ending amount = 50 m / 3.6981210597

ending amount = 13.5203794557 mg

or about 13.5 mg remain
