Algebra.Com's Answer #123027 by ankor@dixie-net.com(22740)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! At a height of h meters you can see V kilometers to the horizon. These numbers are related by the equation V = 3.5 sqrt(h) A person can see 392 km to the horizon from an airplane window. How high is the airplane? \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "Substitute 392 for V in the given equation and find h \n" ); document.write( "3.5* \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by 3.5: \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "Square both sides: \n" ); document.write( "h = 112^2 \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "h = 12,544 meters \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( ": \n" ); document.write( "Check solution on a calc: enter 3.5* |
