Question

Part 1: From a 220 feet high lighthouse in the Bahamas island ofNassau, a person sees a ship on the horizon. Due to the curvatureof earth, how far is the ship from the lighthouse?

Use the formula: d = sqrt[3h/2], where d is the distance innautical miles and h is the height in feet.
Provide a similar example of when you were close to the beach, orelsewhere. Estimate how high above sea level you are and find howfar the ship is from you.
