Question 91927This question is from textbook
: word problem: 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.) can someone help me? This question is from textbook
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 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.)
:
d = sqrt(3h/2)
:
Substitute 900 for h
d = sqrt((3*900)/2)
d = sqrt(1350)
d = 36.74 mi
