This problem uses the Richter scale for the strength of an earthquake. The strength, W , of the seismic waves of an earthquake a

re compared to the strength, W_0, of the seismic waves of a standard earthquake. The Richter scale rating, M is given by the following equation:
M= log(w/w_0)
Now, consider the Caracas earthquake, which occurred in Venezuela in the year 1967 and had a Richter scale rating of 6.5. How many times more powerful were the seismic waves of the Caracas earthquake than standard seismic waves?

By using formula given above, M= log(w/w_0), we can find 
10^M= w/w_0, it means 10^M.w_0,= w
but M=6.5, so 10^6.5=3162277,66

the seismic waves of the Caracas earthquake were 3162277,66 times more powerful of the standard seismic waves

Each unit on the grid stands for one miles determine two ways to calculate the distance from josie's house to annies
Novosadov [1.4K]
I encountered this problem before but it had an accompanying image and list of answer choices.

I'll attach the image and include the list of options. 

Each unit on the grid stands for one mile. Determine two ways to calculate the distance from Josie's house to Annie's house.
A) Distance Formula and Slope Formula
B) Midpoint Formula and Slope Formula
C) Distance Formula and Midpoint Formula
<span>D) Distance Formula and Pythagorean Theorem
</span>
My answer is: D.) Distance formula and Pythagorean Theorem.

When looking at the image, I can visualize a right triangle. I'll simply get the measure of the long and short legs and solve for the hypotenuse. 
Since the distance formula is derived from the Pythagorean theorem, it can be used to determine the distance from Josie's house to Annie's house.

A circle has a circumference of 615.44 point, 44 units.<br> What is the radius of the circle?
Tpy6a [65]

The circumference of a circle is equal to C=2πr

From the question, we have 615.44.

Assume that pi is equal to 3.14

Substitute and solve for r

615.44= 2(3.14)r

r= 615.44/ 6.28

r=98.4704

r=98

Therefore, the radius is about 98 units.

To check:

C=2πr

C=2 x 3.14 x 98

C=6.28 x98

C=615.44
