Algebra.Com's Answer #272075 by stanbon(75887)![]() ![]() ![]() 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 385 km to the horizon from an airplane window. How high is the airplane? \n" ); document.write( "---- \n" ); document.write( "V = 3.5*sqrt(h) \n" ); document.write( "385 = 3.5*sqrt(h) \n" ); document.write( "sqrt(h) = 110 \n" ); document.write( "h = 110^2 = 12,100 meters \n" ); document.write( "======================= \n" ); document.write( "======================= \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( " |
