Answer:

47,04 miles

Explanation:

you can clearly see something 20 feet away that you should be able to see from that distance. If a person can see 6 miles from a height of 25 feet, by dividing 196 by 25 we can get the following calculation

196 ÷ 25 = 7,84

Then you gan multiply

7,84 × 6 = 47,04 miles

Or equal to 75703,542 meters
