A man's eyes 1.75 m. above sea level can barely see the top of a lighthouse which is at a certain distance away from a man. a.) What is the elevation of the top of the lighthouse above sea level if the lighthouse is 20 km. away from the man. b.) How far is the lighthouse from the man in meters if the top of the lighthouse is 14.86 m. above sea level. c.) What is the height of the tower at a distance 20 km. away from the man that will just be visible without the line of sight approaching nearer than 1.75 m. to the water.
