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*\"sqrt%28h%29\" = 392
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Divide both sides by 3.5:
\n" ); document.write( "\"sqrt%28h%29\" = \"392%2F3.5\"
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "\"sqrt%28h%29\" = 112
\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*\"sqrt%2812544%29\" = 392
