If you are h feet above the earth's surface, the distance, d, that you can see is approximately d (in miles) = sq rt(3h/2). Suppose you are on the roof of a building 900 ft.tall. How far can you see? (Calculate to two decimal places.)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "d = sqrt(3h/2)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute 900 for h
\n" ); document.write( "d = sqrt((3*900)/2)
\n" ); document.write( "d = sqrt(1350)
\n" ); document.write( "d = 36.74 mi \n" ); document.write( "
