Pam’s eye-level height is 324 ft above sea level, and Adam’s eye-level height is 400 ft above sea level. How much farther can Adam see to the horizon? Use the formula d = V~~3 h/2 EndRoot, with d being the distance they can see in miles and h being their eye-level height in feet.

The answer is √6 mi.

The formula is: d = √(3h/2)

Pam:

h = 324 ft

d = √(3 * 324/2) = √486 = √(81 * 6) = √81 * √6 = 9√6 mi

Adam:

h = 400 ft

d = √(3 * 400/2) = √600 = √(100 * 6) = √100 * √6 = 10√6 mi

How much farther can Adam see to the horizon?

Adam - Pam = 10√6 - 9√6 = √6 mi

Step-by-step explanation:

distance covered by pamela in 9 l of fuel = 99km

let us apply unitary method here.

distance covered by pamela in 1 l of fuel =99/9 =11 km

now let us find distance covered by pamela if she has 12 l of fuel.

distance covered in 12 l = distance covered in 1 l of fuel * 12

we know that distance covered by here in 1 l is 11 km.

so distance covered in 12 l of fuel = 11*12 = 132 km.

you probably already have the answer but anyways it's b. 15.0
