Question

The maximum distance d in kilometers that you can see from a height of h meters is given by d=3.2/h. Findhow far you can see from the top of the building, a height of 290.7 meters. Round to the nearest tenth of akilometer.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation

We are told that the maximum distance, d in kilometres that can be observed is given by

`d=(3)/(2)h`

If the height of the building is 290.7 meters, then

The value of d will be calculated as

`\begin{gathered} d=(3)/(2)* h=(3)/(2)*290.7 \\ \\ d=436.05\text{ Km} \end{gathered}`

Thus, the value of d will be 436.1 km
