Answer:

the intensity increases by a factor of 10, the Ritcher scale uses a logarithm with base 10. For example an earthquake with magnitude 2 is 10^2 times more intense than a standard earthquake, while an earthquake with magnitude 3 is 10^3 times more intense than a standard earthquake, and 10^3 = 10^2 • 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

Because of the logarithmic basis of the scale, each whole number increase in magnitude represents a tenfold increase in measured amplitude; in terms of energy, each whole number increase corresponds to an increase of about 31.6 times the amount of energy released, and each increase of 0.2 corresponds to approximately a doubling of the energy released.

Find the lateral area of the pyramid to the nearest whole number.
son4ous [18]

Answer:

The correct answer is first option.  204 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula:-

Lateral surface area of square pyramid = 4 * area  of triangle

<u>To find the slant height of triangle(l)</u>

l = √(6² + 6²) = 6√2

To find the area of triangle

Area = bh/2

b = 12 m

h =  6√2

Area = (12 * 6√2)/2 = 36√2

<u>To find the lateral surface area of Prism</u>

Lateral surface area of square pyramid = 4 * area  of triangle

= 36√2 * 4 = 203.64 ≈ 204 m²

First answer is the correct option

What is the solution to the following system of equations?
fenix001 [56]

Answer: (5,0)

Step-by-step explanation:

x - 3y =5 -----------(1)

2x + y = 10 ----------(2)

By elimination method, multiply eqn(1) by 2

2x - 6y = 10 ------------(3)

eqn(3) - eqn(2)

-7y = 0

Divide bothside by -7

y= 0

Now, we substitute the value of y in eqn(1)

x - 3(0) = 5

x - 0 = 5

x=5

Therefore,x=5 and y=0

What two consecutive even integers have a sum of -66?
pshichka [43]

Answer:

the sum of 2 consecutive even integers is 66.

Step-by-step explanation:

This means that if one integers is x, the other must be either x-2 or x+2. Therefore, we can write 6=x+(×-2)=2×2. Solving for x, we can find ×=34. this means that the other integer is 34-2=32. indeed, 32+34=66, and done hope this helped C:
