Answer:
16.67 feet from ground
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]d= \sqrt{ 1.5h}[/tex] --- missing from the question
[tex]d \to distance[/tex]
[tex]h \to height[/tex]
Required
Determine the height when distance = 5 miles
This implies that:
[tex]d = 5[/tex]
So, we have:
[tex]d= \sqrt{ 1.5h}[/tex]
[tex]5 = \sqrt{1.5h[/tex]
Take square roots of both sides
[tex]5^2 = 1.5h[/tex]
[tex]25 = 1.5h[/tex]
Divide both sides by 1.5
[tex]\frac{25}{1.5} = h[/tex]
[tex]h = \frac{25}{1.5}[/tex]
[tex]h = 16.67[/tex]
