The formula d= sqrt 1.5h gives the distance (d) in miles you can see to the horizon from a height of h feet above the earth. To the nearest mile, how many miles can you see to the horizon from the top of the Empire State Building at 1250 feet?

Answer 1

d (miles) = (sqrt 1.5) * height (feet)

d (miles) = 1.2247448714 * 1,250

d (miles) = 1,530.93 miles
