Radical Expressions: If you are looking at the horizon, you can determine the distance you are from the horizon in miles, D, from a height, h, in feet by the equation of D = 1.2√h. If you are standing on a mountain top that is 12,000 feet in elevation, how far are you from the horizon?

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

just replace hin the equation by 1200 and work it out

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

* by 12000

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, so would it be: √12000 = 20√30 * 1.2 = 131.453

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, thank you!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Would that be 131.453 miles or feet?

OpenStudy (cwrw238):
