Question: CAT SCANS ( Refer to Exercise 7 6 . ) Four X - ray beams are aimed at four cells, as shown in the following

CAT SCANS (Refer to Exercise 76.) Four X-ray beams are aimed at four cells, as shown in the following figure. Source: The Mathematics Teacher.
a.[Writing Exercise] Suppose the attenuation values for beams 1,2,3, and 4 are 0.60,0.75,0.65, and 0.70, respectively. Do we have enough information to determine the values of a,b,c, and d? Explain.
b. Suppose we have the data from part (a), as well as the following values for d. Find the values for a,b, and c, and draw conclusions about cells A, B, C, and D in each case.
i.0.33
ii.0.43
c. Two X-ray beams are added, as shown in the figure. In addition to the data in part (a), we now have attenuation values for beams 5 and 6 of 0.85 and 0.50. Find the values for a,b,c, and d, and make conclusions about cells A,B,C, and D.
d. Six X-ray beams are not necessary because four appropriately chosen beams are sufficient. Give two examples of four beams (chosen from beams 1-6 in part (c)) that will give the solution. (Note: There are 12 possible solutions.)
e.[Writing Exercise] Discuss what properties the four beams selected in part (d) must have in order to provide a unique solution.
