Step-by-step explanation:

Log T = 11.8 + 1.5.M (with T is the amount of energy released by the earthquake, Log refers to the logarithm to the base 10)

-->T = [tex]10^{11.8 +1.5*6.5}[/tex] ≈3.458 *[tex]10^{21}[/tex]

Answer:  2.00 x 10¹⁰⁹

Step-by-step explanation:

log T = 11.8 + 1.5M

Given: M = 6.5

log T = 11.8 + 1.5(6.5)

log T = 11.8 + 9.75

log T = 21.55

      T = 10²¹⁻⁵⁵

      T = 1.995 x 10¹⁰⁹

      T = 2.00 x 10¹⁰⁹       rounded to the nearest hundredth
