Well you are given the equation so let's plug in for kaylib and see how many miles she can see
distance = sqrt [(3 * height) / 2]
d = sqrt [(3 *48) / 2]
d = sqrt (144 / 2)
d = sqrt (72)
d = sqrt (3 * 3 * 2 * 2 * 2)
d = 6 * sqrt (2)
You you did not list Addisons height but I will say she is at x feet above sea level. we plug in x for height:
d = sqrt [(3x) / 2]
It it says how much farther for Addison which means she can see farther. to find difference we just subtract kaylibs distance from Addison. so:
sqrt [(3x) / 2] - 6 * sqrt (2)
plug in your x and use a calculator to get a decimal approximation
A)
It looks like the [irregular] hexagon has 3 rectangles and 2 triangles within it.
So let's exclude the triangular corners on bottom left and top right for now.
First we have a large rectangle covering most of the upper left of the polygon. 20 ft × 7 ft = 140 sq.ft.
Now we have a rectangle on the bottom right. The width is 11 ft, so take the 7 away from that, 4 ft. × 14 ft. on bottom. 4 ft × 14 ft = 56 sq.ft.
The last small rectangle fits on the right between the 2 other rectangles. It is 24-20 on top/bottom × 7-6 right/left. 4 ft × 1 ft = 4 sq.ft.
Now for the triangles: bottom left is 11-7 × 24-14 = 4 ft × 10 ft. 1/2bh = 1/2×10×4 = 20 sq.ft.
Top right is 24-20 × 11-5 = 4 ft × 6 ft. 1/2bh = 1/2×4×6 = 12 sq.ft.
B)
Add them all together for the total area (A):
A = 140 + 56 + 4 + 20 + 12 = 140+60+32
= 232 sq.ft.
Hope that explains it well enough! ;)
