1. At a height of h meters, you can see V kilometers to the horizon. These numbers are related by the equation V=3.5sqrt(h). A person can see 364 km to the horizon from an airplane window. How high is the airplane?
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "The problem gives you V (364) you just need to find h:
\n" ); document.write( "\"364=3.5sqrt%28h%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"104=sqrt%28h%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"10816+=+h\"
\n" ); document.write( "The airplane is 10816 meters high.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "2. The formula r=2sqrt5L can be used to approximate the speed r, in miles per hour, of a car that has left skid marks of length L, in feet. How far will a car skid at 50 mph?
\n" ); document.write( "\"50+=+2+sqrt%285L%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"25+=+sqrt%285L%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"625+=+5L+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"125+=+L+\"
\n" ); document.write( "The car will skid 125 feet.
