Question

Pam’s eye-level height is 324 ft above sea level, and Adam’s eye-level height is 400 ft above sea level. How much farther can Adam see to the horizon? Use the formula d=square root 3h/2, with d being the distance they can see in miles and h being their eye-level height in feet.

Answer 1

It is B just did the question

Answer 2

First we need to calculate how far they both can see.

Pam's eye level height = 324 feet

Using the given formula, we get:


`d= \sqrt{ (3*324)/(2) }=22.05`

Adam's eye level height = 400 feet

Using the same formula for Adam, we get:


`d= \sqrt{ (3*400)/(2) }=24.49`

This means, Adam can see 24.49 miles beyond horizon and Pam can see 22.05 mile beyond horizon.

This mean Adam can see 24.49 - 22.05 = 2.44 miles father to the Horizon than Pam.
