Question 1105184: A meteorologist estimates how long a passing storm will last by using the function t(d) = 0.08d^3/2, where d is the diameter of the storm, in miles, and t is the time, in hours. If the storm lasts 16.2 minutes, find its diameter, in miles. Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 16.2=0.08d^(3/2)
divide by 0.08
202.5=d^(3/2)
raise everything to the (2/3) power
=34.48 miles
