Question 230248: My question is calculating D=sqrt(2h). D representing how many miles a person can see the horizon from a height, h in feet. Find the corresponding distance you should be able to see the horizon. Include height and the calculations.
D=sqrt (2h)
D= sqrt2(800)
[D=sqrt1600]^2
D=40 miles a person can see the horizon.
I was just wondering if I did this correctly? Thank you

You don't specify the height, but I presume it is 800 feet, based on the numbers you used. Given that, yes you have the correct answer. The way you rendered your work was a little confusing, however. For example, I have no idea what you were trying to represent by "[D=sqrt1600]^2"
This is what it should have looked like:
D = sqrt(2h)
D = sqrt(2(800))
D = sqrt(1600)
D = 40
