Question

The formula for a complete radio circuit is (see photo) where d equals the visual horizon distance and g and h are the heights of the radio tower antennas at the respective stations. What is d when g=90ft and h= 65ft? Round you answer to two decimal places or express it in simplified radical form

Answer 1

Answer:

d = 24.82 ft

Explanation:

The given equation is:

$d=\sqrt{2g}+\sqrt{2h}$

Sbstitute g = 90 ft and h = 65 ft into the equation represemnting d

$\begin{gathered} d=\sqrt{2(90)}+\sqrt{2(65)} \\ \\ d=\sqrt{180}+\sqrt{130} \\ \\ d=24.82\text{ ft} \end{gathered}$
