A. dont you just divide 9000 by 1000 to convert from M to KM, that makes it 3.6 x the square root of 9. which is 3.6 x 3 which equals 10.8.
B. do the same as A. 3.6 x teh square root of 18 which gives you 15.274

a. d = 3.6 X sqrt(h)
= 3.6 sqrt(9000)
finish the rest yourself

I thought because of the curve of the earth that you can only see 12 miles in one direction...
