You are in a hot air balloon h feet above the ground. How far can you see? That is, how far is the horizon? The distance from your viewing point from the balloon to the horizon is D. Center of Earth Solve the equation for D. D = sqrt(h^2)+2RH b. If the balloon is nearest tenth mile. 44.6 hD Get Help: a. Write the Pythagorean Theorem in terms of R, D and h. (R+H)^2-R^2=D^2 Preview R /R * miles Apparent horizon Preview R is the radius of Earth, 3,959 mi. 1 of a mile above the ground, how many miles can you see? Round your answer to the 12
