We are given
height = 3.7 mi
radius = 3959 mi
We are asked for the distance between the man and the horizon
The straight line from the man to the horizon is a tangent line to the surface of the earth
Using Pythagorean theorem
(3.7 + 3959)² = 3959² + d²
Solve for d
d = 171 mi
Lateral area: 339.29
surface area: 565.49
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The result is given by means of some algebraic handling:
- Multiplication of rationals.
- Dividing each term by 2.
- Dividing each term by 2.
- Dividing each term by 3.
The perimeter is the distance all the way around. So it's the sum of the lengths of all 4 sides.
From the picture, you can clearly see the lengths of all 4 sides.
