Answer 1

Answer:

Option D. $1,353\ ft$

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$d=\frac{5}{6}\sqrt{h}$

solve for h

squared both sides

$d^{2}=\frac{25}{36}h$

$h=\frac{36}{25}d^{2}$

substitute the value of d

$h=\frac{36}{25}(30.65^{2})=1,353\ ft$

Answer 2

A. 1353 feet

B. 783 feet

C. 4.6 feet

D. 1127 feet

Answer: A. 1353 feet
