Question 325105: The equation D=1.2 sqrt h gives the distance, D, in miles that a person can see to the horizon from a distance height h in feet assuming I have the equation solved for h correct sqrt h= d/1.2=h=d^2/1.44=36d^2/25 how do I solve this problem Long's Peak in Rocky Mount National Park is 14,255 ft. in elevation. How far can you see the horizon from the top? Cn you see Cheyene Wy. which is about 89 miles away?

D=1.2*SQRTH
D=1.2*SQRT14,255
D=1.2*119.39
D=142.26 MILES.
YES YOU COULD SEE CHEYENE.
