The intensity of the 2012 earthquake was about 126 times the intensity of the 1952 earthquake.

Step-by-step explanation:

To compare the intensities, we first need to convert the magnitudes to intensities using the log formula. Then we will set up a ratio to compare the intensities.

Convert the magnitudes to intensities and convert to exponential form.

R=logI

2012 earthquake:

8.6I=logI=108.6

1952 earthquake:

6.5I=logI=106.5

Form a ratio of the intensities.

intensity for 2012intensity for 1952

Substitute in the values and divide by subtracting the exponents to find

108.6106.5102.1≈126.

The intensity of the 2012 earthquake was about 126 times the intensity of the 1952 earthquake.

Your

The intensity of the 1952 earthquake was about 110 times the intensity of the 2012 earthquake.

i dony know

step-by-step explanation:

Answer from: Quest

answer: the angel abc is 30°,and the abc is a triangle where the angel bac is 90°

so ac is the half of 24=12ft,and from the pythagorean theorem we find ba

ba=√bc^2-ac^2=√576-144=√432=12√3ft

so bac is 12+12√3=12(1+√3)ft
