The distance d (in miles) that you can see to the horizon with your eye level h feet above the water is given by d=3h2−−−√. You are standing on a platform. Your eye level is 12 feet above the water. Can you see a ship that is 4.5 miles away? because you can see about miles.

He cannot see a ship that is 4.5 miles away.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Here, h is the eye level above the water

d is the distance away.

If h = 12 feet

We will get :

Hence, it is 10.39 feet away when eye level is 12 feet above the water.

Therefore , he cannot see a ship that is 4.5 miles away.

well my understanding of this question is they want you to use the y=14.1x -2.3 and put the coordinates they gave you onto the line segment of   y=14.1x -2.3
