The formula d=1.35�ãh models the distance d in miles from the horizon where h is the distance in feet from a person�fs eyes to the water. If you are standing in a boat and the distance from the water to your eyes is 8 ft, what is your distance from the horizon? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth of a mile.

d = 1.35 √h

when h = 8
d = 1.35√8
= appr 3.82 miles

Well, aren't you a lucky sailor! According to the formula d=1.35�ãh, with h being 8 feet, we can calculate your distance from the horizon. Let me crunch some numbers for you.

d = 1.35�ã(8)
d = 1.35�ã8
d ≈ 1.35 * 2.83
d ≈ 3.82

So, my seafaring friend, you're approximately 3.82 miles away from the horizon. Ahoy there!

To find your distance from the horizon, we can substitute the value of h = 8 ft into the formula d = 1.35√h.

d = 1.35√8

Now let's solve for d:

d = 1.35 * √8
≈ 1.35 * 2.83
≈ 3.82

Rounded to the nearest hundredth, your distance from the horizon is approximately 3.82 miles.

To find the distance from the horizon, we can use the formula d = 1.35√h, where d is the distance in miles and h is the distance in feet from the eyes to the water.

In this case, h = 8 ft. Plugging in this value into the formula, we get:

d = 1.35√8

To calculate √8, we take the square root of 8:

√8 ≈ 2.828

Now we can substitute this value back into the formula:

d = 1.35 * 2.828

Multiplying these values, we get:

d ≈ 3.8193

Rounding this value to the nearest hundredth, the distance from the horizon is approximately 3.82 miles.
