Answer 1

Ignore the stuff I wrote because I don't know if its right

Answer 2

Are you trying to find the length of that horizontal line?

Answer 3

It says to find out how far away the truck is when it disappears below the horizon

Answer 4

Either way, those right triangles are impossible. If the hypotenuse is 6370, there can't be another side equal to that.

Answer 5

so maybe 6370 is just the height to the ground and the distances are like this

Answer 6

And then you could use the Pythagorean theorem to solve for the missing sides, then add them up to get the length

Answer 7

I did it that way and got your answer, so I think your work is right

Answer 8

So the sentence I wrote for the answer may be right

Answer 9

slight rounding error. change it to 11.1 or 11.12
