i have already solved part a. and b. for this problem can u help me on c?
an earthquake was felt up to 81 miles from its epicenter. u were located 60 miles west and 45 miles south of the epicenter.
a. let the epicenter be at thepoint (0,0) find the standard equation that describes the outer boundary of the earthquake
b. would u have felt the earthquake?
verify ur answer to part b. by graphing the equation of the outer boundary of the earthquake and plotting ur location . how far were u fromthe outer boundary of the earthquake?????
and i have graphed it also i just need help w/ the last q.

which part do you mean?plotting graph?

anonymous · Answer

no umm answering.... how far were u from the outer boundary of the earthquake?,

anonymous · Answer

err you are 75 miles from the epicenter. the outer boundary of the earthquake is 81 miles from the center. so you're 81-75=6 miles from the outer boundary.

anonymous · Answer

okay but where is '75miles from the epicenter' coming from?
