Form from many older rock particles.
Sedimentary Rocks
Sedimentary rocks contain bits of sediment, each much older than the rocks they form
The four types of radiometric dating are: Potassium, Uranium, Rubidium, and Carbon I hope thats the answer you were looking for:)
because relative dating gets a really close estimate of how old sedimentary rock is.(the layer of course!)

Radiometric dating of igneous rocks that relate to the sedimentary rock
No, radiometric dating can only be used on certain minerals that contain radioactive isotopes. These minerals include zircon, potassium feldspar, and biotite, among others. Not all minerals contain radioactive isotopes, so radiometric dating cannot be applied to all minerals.

Radio metric dating.
Are constant
Radiometric dating is possible because the rates of decay of radioactive isotopes are constant and predictable over time. By measuring the amount of remaining parent and daughter isotopes in a sample, scientists can determine the age of the sample.
The radiometric clock is set when the rock is formed. Because this is when it sets, radiometric dating is used by geologist to find out when the rock was formed.
Radiometric dating is the principal source of information about the absolute age of rocks and other geological features, including the age of the Earth itself, and can be used to date a wide range of natural and man-made materials.
