The 2002 denali earthquake in alaska had a richter scale magnitude of 6.7. the 2003 rat islands earthquake in alaska had a richter scale magnitude of 7.8. (show work) suppose an architect has designed a building strong enough to withstand an earthquake 70 times as intense as the denali quake and 30 times as intense as the rat islands quake. find which structure is strongest.

3.73 * 10^7 is the anser for ttm ur welcome < 3

step-by-step explanation:

look at the picture.

1.

ef : ab = 2 : 3

gf : cb = 2 : 3

gh : cd = 2 : 3

he : da = 2 : 3

2.

∠a ≅ ∠e

∠b ≅ ∠f

∠c ≅ ∠g

∠d ≅ ∠h

3.

use pythagorean theorem:

the length of the abcd trapezoid sides:

|ab| = 3 cm

|bc| = 10 cm

|cd| = 3(3) cm = 9 cm

|da| = 8 cm

the perimeter of abcd = 3 + 10 + 9 + 8 = 30 cm

the ratio of perimeters of the tarapezoids is equal 2 : 3.

substitute:

      cross multiply

      divide both sides by 3

c.

step-by-step explanation: it's not a. because 1/3 x 1/3 x 1/3 = 1/27 so that's not correct. | b. is also not correct because 7 x 7 1/3 is not actually 3 x 7 1/3 . and for d. multiplications are not additions so that left you with c. ( hope this out : d )
