Can You Please Help Me With This? I Am A Beginner And I Can't Figure It Out, Thanks.
D=sqrt(1.30h), can be used to approximate the distance, D, in nautical miles that a person can see to the horizon from a height, h, in feet. This equation includes a correction for the refraction of light. Suppose that you are in an airplane. By choosing any height, find the corresponding distance that you should be able to see to the horizon. Include the height and the calculations needed to find the distance. Include units with your answer, and show all work for full credit.

You can work backward to determine the units of the number 1.3:
D nm = sqrt(1.3*h feet) (given; I'm using "nm" for nautical miles)
D2 nm2 = 1.3*h feet (square both sides)
D2/h nm2/feet = 1.3 (divide by h)
So the units of 1.3 are (nautical miles)2/feet. The expression with units, then, is D = sqrt(1.3 nm2/feet * h), where h is some number together with the units "feet".
What part of "pick a number of feet, multiply by 1.3, and take the square root" do you not understand?
