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
See attachment for one such shell. The volume is given by the sum of infinitely many thin shells like this, each with radius

and height determined by the vertical distance between the upper blue curve and the lower orange curve for any given

, i.e.

.
The volume is then
Slope= 5
X-intercept= -5/5 = -1
Y-intercept= 5/1 = 5.0000000
Answer:
y<1/4x+3
