Answer:
a) 96 = 3.57√h
b) h ≈ 723.11 m
Explanation:
a)
The equation you want to solve is the model with the given values filled in.
D(h) = 3.57√h . . . . model
96 = 3.57√h . . . . . equation for seeing 96 km to the horizon
__
b)
We solve this equation by dividing by the coefficient of the root, then squaring both sides.
96/3.57 = √h
h ≈ 26.891² ≈ 723.11 . . . . meters above sea level
Dustin would need to have an elevation of 723.11 meters above sea level to see 96 km to the horizon.
