. Suppose the person can see
22.5
kilometers to the horizon. What is the height of her eye level above sea level?

Respuesta :

Reallyhow is this elementry

Answer:

The height is 39 meters above sea level

Step-by-step explanation:

The function that relates the person's eye level above sea level (h) and the kilometers the person can see to the horizon (d) is:

d = 3.6*√h

If the person can see  22.5  kilometers to the horizon, then  the height of her eye level above sea level is obtained replacing this d value in the equation and solving for h, as follows:

22.5 = 3.6*√h

22.5/3.6 = √h

6.25^2 = h

h ≈ 39
