Answer:
0.049168726 light-years
Step-by-step explanation:
The apparent brightness of a star is
where
<em>L = luminosity of the star (related to the Sun) </em>
<em>d = distance in ly (light-years) </em>
The luminosity of Alpha Centauri A is 1.519 and its distance is 4.37 ly.
Hence the apparent brightness of Alpha Centauri A is
According to the inverse square law for light intensity
where
light intensity at distance
light intensity at distance
Let be the distance we would have to place the 50-watt bulb, then replacing in the formula
Remark: It is worth noticing that Alpha Centauri A, though is the nearest star to the Sun, is not visible to the naked eye.
if you notice the triangle on the left-hand-side, it has a base of 8 ft and a height/altitude of 10.
now, the triangular pyramid has 3 of those triangles standing up, and one at the base lying down, so 4 triangles with that base and altitude. So we can simply find the area of all 4 of those triangles, sum them up and that's the area of the triangular pyramid.
