document.write( "Question 547048: the illumination produced by a light source depends on the distance from the source. For a particular light source, this relationship can be expressed as i=(4050)/(d^2), where i is the amount of illumination in footcandles and d is the distance from the light (in feet). How far from the source is the illumination equal to 50 footcandles? \n" ); document.write( "
