23.-28. In a manner similar to Example 1, (a) identify input and
output consistent with the general proportional model; (b) write
an equation for the model; (c) determine a numerical value for the
constant k; and (d) solve the problem.
23. The maximum distance that you can see from the top of a tall
building is (directly) proportional to the square root of the
height of the building. You can see approximately 41 mi from
the Canadian National Tower lookout level, which is 1,135 ft
tall. How far can you see from the top of the Sears Tower in
Chicago (now the Willis Tower), which is 1,454 ft tall?
