Question

2. The equation gives the distance, D, in miles that a person can see to the horizon from a height, h, in feet.

a. Solve this equation for h.

b. Long’s Peak in Rocky Mountain National Park, is 14,255 feet in elevation. How far can you see to the horizon from the top of Long’s Peak? Can you see Cheyenne, Wyoming (about 89 miles away)? Explain your answer.

Answer 1

did u tried to solve?

Answer 2

please dont make me give u direct answers.
LOL.

Answer 3

Yes would it be 14,255/89=160.17

Answer 4

Do I divide

Answer 5

I really feel stupid like I am not doing these right
lol

Answer 6

surely u arent.

Answer 7

LOL.

Answer 8

LOL

Answer 9

do the a) part first.

Answer 10

k

Answer 11

can u make the equation?

Answer 12

D=0.3\[\sqrt{14255}\]

Answer 13

\[D=0.3\sqrt{14255}\]

Answer 14

that is it
give me a sec

Answer 15

D=119.39

Answer 16

is that close but how do I factor in the 0.3

Answer 17

u r going the wrong way, sorry for that.

Answer 18

Always try to solve the 1st part 1st.
u have to make an equation first.

Answer 19

ok

Answer 20

2. The equation gives the distance, D, in miles that a person can see to the horizon from a height, h, in feet.

a. Solve this equation for h.

Answer 21

Yea, make a equation first.

Answer 22

like u did in the last ques, for a part.

Answer 23

\[Here is the equation D=0.3\sqrt{14,255}\]

Answer 24

How would I solve this

Answer 25

using a calculater or by hand

Answer 26

Ok, im giving u the answer for the first part, the next one u will do by youself... DEAL?

Answer 27

could you just explain to me how I get the answer then I will try it and you tell me if I did it right ?

Answer 28

cause I want to learn

Answer 29

That's great. Ok.

Answer 30

Check your doc file, u missed one thing.

Answer 31

2. The equation gives the distance, D, in miles that a person can see to the horizon from a height, h, in feet.

a. Solve this equation for h.

b. Long’s Peak in Rocky Mountain National Park, is 14,255 feet in elevation. How far can you see to the horizon from the top of Long’s Peak? Can you see Cheyenne, Wyoming (about 89 miles away)? Explain your answer.

Answer 32

This is all it gives me

Answer 33

STILL NO.

Answer 34

and the equation I put above that has 0.3 in it

Answer 35

\[D=0.3\sqrt{h}\]

Answer 36

\[D = 1.2\sqrt{h}\]
dont u have this?

Answer 37

nope it is using 0.3

Answer 38

not 1.2

Answer 39

Alright, so look now, the solution i gave u for the last one are not for that, that is a similar one, there is a bit difference.. in numericals.

this one is also different one.

Answer 40

k

Answer 41

now let me LOOK.

Answer 42

k

Answer 43

u have to solve for h for the first part.q

Answer 44

try solving.

Answer 45

did u find the way out?

(sorry for confusing u)

Answer 46

q?

Answer 47

typo.

Answer 48

oh ok

Answer 49

idk what is happening me today!
lol

Answer 50

lol I got D= 47516.67
not sure if I did this right but I took 0.3 divided into 14255 to get the answer

Answer 51

\[\sqrt{h}=\frac{D}{0.3}\]
take a square root on both sides.
\[h = \frac{D^2}{0.09}\]

Answer 52

0.00.81

Answer 53

0.0081

Answer 54

No.
=0.3^2
=0.09

Answer 55

oh lol ok got it now then I take 0.09 and divide into 14255?

Answer 56

now, u need to find the value for D.

Answer 57

do I take 0.09 divided into 14255 which is h to get that?

Answer 58

No, u have to multiply.

Answer 59

0.09*14255=1282.95

Answer 60

So D=1282.95

Answer 61

That is D^2 = 1282.95

Answer 62

so now I have to take that answer to the second power ?

Answer 63

take a root on both sides. this will cancel the square of D and it will go like:

D = sqrt(1282.95)

Answer 64

35.812
did I do that right

Answer 65

35.818

Answer 66

yeah I did get 35.818 to I just redid it on the calculater
sorry

Answer 67

No, prob.. but u r right! :)

Answer 68

sweet
ty

Answer 69

2355805350*3962.946591ˉ²=15704945.6831185

Answer 70

did I get the correct answer for this one to

Answer 71

what is that??

Answer 72

LOL sorry to confuse you I just wanna know if I did the math right

Answer 73

haha!
