Applications of Rational Functions and Distance Calculations in Real - World Scenarios Part 1: Distance Calculation Using the Curvature Formula You are standing at the top of a lighthouse that is 240 feet tall. Using the formula calculate the distance to the horizon, where h = 240 . Then, provide a real - life example by choosing a height above sea level (different from the lighthouse) and calculate the distance to the horizon. Part 2: Rational Function for Work Completion Time Two workers, William and Timothy, have different times to complete the same job. William takes 3 hours longer than Timothy. Working together, they finish the job in 2 hours. Use the formula to calculate how long each worker would take to complete the job alone. Create and solve a similar problem, showing all steps in your work. Word Count: 400 - 600 words
