Algebra.Com's Answer #799329 by ankor@dixie-net.com(22740)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! the intensity I of illumination from a light source is inversely proportional to the square of the distance d from the source. \n" ); document.write( "make an equation from this information given \n" ); document.write( "I = \n" ); document.write( " I=illumination in candelas; \n" ); document.write( " d=distance from light source, \n" ); document.write( " k=constant \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "Suppose the intensity is 320 candela at a distance of 10 feet from a light source. \n" ); document.write( "Find k with these values \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "k = 320 * 100 \n" ); document.write( "k = 32000 \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "a.
