Question

Help Kaylib’s eye-level height is 48 ft above sea level, and Addison’s eye-level height is 85 and one-third ft above sea level. How much farther can Addison see to the horizon? Use the formula d = StartRoot StartFraction 3 h Over 2 EndFraction EndRoot, with d being the distance they can see in miles and h being their eye-level height in feet.
StartRoot 2 EndRoot mi
2 StartRoot 2 EndRoot mi
14 StartRoot 2 EndRoot mi
28 StartRoot 2 EndRoot mi

Answer 3

\[d=\sqrt{\frac{ 3h }{ 2 }}\]
for distance seen in miles (d) and h being eye-level height

they give you their eye-level heights (h = 48 for kaylib and h = 85 + 1/3 for addison)

so plug in these h-values to calculate d for each person

then subtract addison's d-value minus kaylib's d-value
