Question

A steeplejack can see 14 km to the horizon from the top of a building. These numbers are related by the equation V=3.5√h where V is the distance in kilometers from the steeplejack's eyes to the horizon and h is the height in meters of the steeplejack's eyes. What is the altitude (to the nearest m) of the steeplejack's eyes?

His eyes are ? meters high.

Answer 1

v=3.5sqrt(h)
we are given v as 14 km
14=3.5sqrt(h)
4=sqrt(h)
so h =16km
