.

OpenStudy (perl):

you can use the fact (L1 / L2 ) ^2 = A1 / A2

OpenStudy (perl):

( 16/ 20 ) ^2 = 26 / A2

OpenStudy (perl):

lets call A2 just x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (perl):

so solve that equation

OpenStudy (perl):

( 16/ 20 ) ^2 = 26 / x 16^2 / 20^2 = 26 / x x *16^2 = 26 * 20^2 x = 26 *20^2 / 16^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm getting 0.64 for some reason for the 16/20^2... I don't know

OpenStudy (perl):

yes that is correct

OpenStudy (perl):

.64 = 26 / x

OpenStudy (perl):

now solve for x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry I'm trying to understand this 26 * 400 / 256?

OpenStudy (perl):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

40.625 so round to 41?

OpenStudy (perl):

i think so

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay thank you :)

OpenStudy (perl):

it says 'which is the best approximation' , so i assume there are multiple choices given

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah the options are 41, 49, 25, and 33 so I'm assuming 41 since it's closest.
