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:

<em>500 </em>\leq<em> </em><em>p </em>\leq<em> </em><em>1000</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Andre if giving a rough estimate about how much paper clips are in the box, we will use the \leq (less than or equal to)

Your X value will be your actual number, the equation shows us that p is anywhere between 500 - 1000

Find the area of each figure, round to the nearest tenth if necessary.USE 3.14 for pi
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

11 is 405, 12 is 107.5, 13 im not sure of

Step-by-step explanation:

First on 11 you can just do 21*21 (the big square) and subtract that by 36 (which is 6*6, the small square), you'll get 107.5.

Then on 12, it is made up of a large rectangle, a small triangle, and a flatter triangle. The top triangle's formula is 1/2(7*3) which = 10.5. The big rectangle is 13*7 = 91. The last triangle is 1/2(4*3) which = 6. It is 3 because 13-10. Add all those up and you should get 107.5.

And I just want to know on number 13 if that 11 is the radius or diameter. I can't seem to tell.
