The formula for a complete radio circuit is (see photo) where d equals the visual horizon distance and g and h are the heights of the radio tower antennas at the respective stations. What is d when g=90ft and h= 65ft? Round you answer to two decimal places or express it in simplified radical form

Answer:

d = 24.82 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is:


d=√(2g)+√(2h)

Sbstitute g = 90 ft and h = 65 ft into the equation represemnting d


\begin{gathered} d=√(2(90))+√(2(65)) \\ \\ d=√(180)+√(130) \\ \\ d=24.82\text{ ft} \end{gathered}
