What is half life and radiometric dating and how is it used o tell the ages of things?

Half-life is the time needed for half of a sample of a radioactive subsatnce to undergo radioactive decay; Radiometric dating is finding the absolute age of a sample by determining the relative percentages of a radioactive parent isotope and a stable daughter isotope.

Half life is the age of a fossil after it has been discovered; Radiometric dating is dating the ages of rocks.

Half life is the time it takes for all of the radioactive sample form daughter isotopes; radiometric dating is when someone finds out ho old the radio is.

none of the above
