You can find this answer by simply doing the reverse of the Pythagorean Theorem. The formula for Pythagorean Theorem is a^2+b^2=c^2, so the reverse would be b^2=c^2-a^2. All we have to do is substitute in the numbers and solve.
b^2=c^2-a^2
b^2=36^2-32^2
b^2=272
sqrt(b^2) sqrt(272)
b=16.492
Since we are rounding to the nearest tenth, our answer will be 16.5 meters.
An earthquake releases energy as shock waves, the so-called seismic waves, which ripple across the earth's surface. The seismic waves created as they move from the epicentre an earthquake vary.
At constant temperature, volume and pressure are inversely related. Increasing the pressure by a factor of 125/50 = 2.5 will cause the volume to be reduced by that factor.
