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

Answer:

Figure RST is congruent is R´S´T´

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that R´S´T is a reflection of RST, we know that is a rigid transformation, so it is congruent (the same size & shape).

Determine the midpoint between the two points x(4,-6) and y(-2,8)
ikadub [295]

Answer:

p(a, b) = (1, 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Midpoint formula is

p(a, b)=(\frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2} ) ---------------(1)

Here

(x_1, y_1) = (4, -6) \ \ \ and \ \ \ (x_2, y_2) = (-2, 8)

Substituting values in equation (1)

p(a, b)=(\frac{4 - 2}{2}, \frac{-6 + 8}{2} )

p(a, b) = (1, 1)
