Question

The formula d= sqrt 1.5h gives the distance (d) in miles you can see to the horizon from a height of h feet above the earth. To the nearest mile, how many miles can you see to the horizon from the top of the Empire State Building at 1250 feet?

Answer 1

Answer:

Approximately 43.30 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the given formula:

$d=\sqrt{1.5\,h}$

replacing "h" with the value of the height of the Empire State Building (1250 feet):

$d=\sqrt{1.5\,*1250} \\d= 43.30 \,\,\,miles$
