Question 155883: The distance d in miles that can be seen on the surface of the ocean is given by d=1.3√(h,) where h is the height in feet above the surface. How high (to the nearest foot) would a platform have to see a distance of 13.5 miles? Answer by ankor@dixie-net.com(22740) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The distance d in miles that can be seen on the surface of the ocean is given by d=1.3√(h,) where h is the height in feet above the surface. How high (to the nearest foot) would a platform have to see a distance of 13.5 miles?
:
The equation: = d
: = 13.5
: =
: = 10.3846
Square both sides
h = 107.84 ft
