If you are 75 feet tall and your eyes are at 15 feet, how far can you see the light according to the geographic range table?

To determine how far you can see a light based on the height of your eyes above sea level, we apply the principle behind the geographic range of a light. The formula commonly used is the square root of the height in feet multiplied by 1.5 to get the distance in nautical miles.

In this case, the height of your eyes is 15 feet. Using the formula:

• Calculate the square root of 15, which is approximately 3.87.

• Multiply this by 1.5 to determine the distance: 3.87 * 1.5 gives about 5.805 nautical miles.

Since the question focuses on finding a particular numerical result, if we look at the choices provided, we notice that option A sums values that would link closely to a reasonable estimate based on calculations regarding the visibility from a certain height. Adding 10.1 and 4.5 leads to a total of 14.6, which is plausible in the context of other distances that need to be evaluated with respect to visibility and the geographic range table.

This option reflects a reasonable conclusion based on the principles of nautical navigation and visibility. Hence, A corresponds to an effective application of the sprinted statistics while aligning with typical results from
