Provide an appropriate response.The miles a person can see to the horizon from a point above the surface of Earth is 0.85 of the square root of the person's distance in feet above the surface. Karen is 39 feet higher and sees 2.55 miles farther than Sharon. How high are Karen and Sharon above the surface?

What will be an ideal response?
