The maximum distance (in nautical miles) that a radio transmitter signal can be sent is represented by the expression 1.23√h , where h is the height (in feet) above the transmitter.

Estimate the maximum distance x (in nautical miles) between the plane that is receiving the signal and the transmitter. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.
