Answer:

x=68

Step-by-step explanation:

We begin by setting up as a proportion. 99.2 and 112 ft are across from each other so we can put those as our numerators. Additionally 62 and (x+2) ft are across from each other so we can put those as denominators. Now we can set up our proportion and begin to cross multiply:

99.2/62 = 112/(x+2) is our equation. It might help you see it clearly to write it out as fractions. From here, we cross multiply.

When we do that, we get x=68

<h3>What is magnitude of earthquake?</h3>

Magnitude of earthquake is the measure of the size of origin of the earthquake. The magnitude of the earthquake keeps the same value for each place.

An earthquake with a magnitude of about 2. 0 or less is called a micro-earthquake and not felt usually.The intensity of an earthquake with a magnitude of 2.

Let the intensity of this earthquake is <em>n </em>times greater than the intensity of an a standard earthquake. Thus the intensity of standard earthquake can be given as,

$n=10^2\\n=100$
