The distance in miles that you can see to the horizon is a radical function that depends on the height (in feet) that you are above the ground. If you can see a distance of 5 miles, how many feet are you from the ground?

16.67 feet from ground

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

--- missing from the question

Required

Determine the height when distance = 5 miles

This implies that:

So, we have:

Take square roots of both sides

Divide both sides by 1.5

the length of o'p' is .

step-by-step explanation:

it is given that the quadrilateral m'n'o'p' is the image of quadrilateral mnop after dilation.

the center of dilation is origin and the scale factor is 1.5.

in dilation the image and preimge are similar figures. it means the sides of image and preimage are proportional.

the scale factor is defined as

the scale factor is 1.5.

multiply both sides by op.

note: if the value of op is given, then multiply the value of op with 1.5 to get the length of side o'p'.

therefore length of o'p' is .
