Answer:
The answer is 3√5 mi.
The formula is: d = √(3h/2)
Wyatt:
h = 120 ft
d = √(3 * 120/2) = √180 = √(36 * 5) = √36 * √5 = 6√5 mi
Shawn:
h = 270 ft
d = √(3 * 270/2) = √405 = √(81 * 5) = √81 * √5 = 9√5 mi
How much farther can Shawn see to the horizon?
Shawn - Wyatt = 9√5 - 6√5 = 3√5 mi
A method you can use to figure this out is to look it up on the Internet and write in your own words. Also, if there is a paper that showed you what the answer was, you can put the definition in your own words. This is 2 significant strategies to success!!
It says estimate so I'm not sure if you want the exact answer but after calculating all of this I got 182.353745455
Hope this helps :)
8x+6y=1920
Y=40+x
8x+6(40+x)=1920
Solve for x
X=120
Y=40+120=160
