Consider a civilization broadcasting a signal with a power of 2.0×104 watts. The Arecibo radio telescope, which is about 300 met

ers in diameter, could detect this signal if it is coming from as far away as 141 light-years. Suppose instead that the signal is being broadcast from the other side of the Milky Way Galaxy, about 70000 light-years away.

For light: Inverse Square Law 

<span>
The signal is weaken by the inverse square of the difference of distances this means that one over the square of the difference. </span>

<span>
</span>

Therefore, 70000LY / 141 LY =496.45 and that squared =246462.602 times less signal, or 1/246462.602.


 2 For a circular telescope like the Arecibo radio telescope that equals Pi times the radius squared. Sensitivity of the telescope depends on its area.<span>
The new telescope needs 246462.60 times that area to have enough sensitivity </span>

<span>
<span>(150 x 150 x Pi) = 70 685 sq m area for the Arecibo telescope and that times 246462.60
= 1.74212 x 10^10</span></span>

<span><span>
</span></span>

What is the diameter of a circle with that area?

 <span>
<span>1. Divide the area by Pi = 5.548156 x 10^9
2. Take the square root of the result to find the radius = 74485.94293</span></span>

3. Multiply by 2 to find the diameter = <span>148971.886</span>

Answer:

Measure of ∠5 is 142°

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that, Lines L and M are parallel.

As, the third line is intersecting both line L and M.

<em>We know that, 'The opposite angles formed by the intersecting lines are equal'.</em>

Since, the sum of the four angles formed by the third line and M is 360°.

So, we get,

∠1 + ∠6 + ∠7 + 38 = 360°

i.e. 2∠1 + 2×38°  = 360°

i.e. 2∠1 = 360° - 76°

i.e. 2∠1 = 284°

i.e. ∠1 = 142°

Thus, ∠1 = ∠7 = 142°

Since, L and M are parallel.

So, ∠3 = ∠5 = 142°

Hence, we get that measure of ∠5 is 142°.
