A model rocket is launched 25 feet from you. When the rocket is at height h, the
distance d between you and the rocket is given by d = √216 +h² where h and d are measured in feet. What is the rockets height when the distance between you and the rocket is 100 feet? round to 3 decimal places

Respuesta :

When the distance is 100ft, the height of the rocket is 98.914 ft.

What is the rocket's height when the distance between you and the rocket is 100 feet?

We know that the relation between height and distance is:

[tex]d = \sqrt{216 + h^2}[/tex]

In this case, we know that the distance is 100ft, so we can replace d by 100 in the above equation and solve that for h.

[tex]100 = \sqrt{216 + h^2} \\\\100^2 = 216 + h^2\\\\10,000 - 216 = h^2\\\\\sqrt{10,000 - 216} = h = 98.914[/tex]

So when the distance is 100ft, the height of the rocket is 98.914 ft.
