Question 263141: The equation D=1.2 sqrt h gives the distance, D in miles that a person can see to the horizon from a height, h, in feet. A technician can see 30.4 miles to the horizon from the top of a radio tower. How high is the tower? (Replace the known values in the equation D=1.2 sqrt h) Answer by drk(1908) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! we start with our equation of
we know that D = 30.4, so we get
step 1 - divide by 1.2 to get
step 2 - square both sides to get
