A TV transmitting antenna is 125 m tall. How much service area this transmitting antenna cover, if the receiving antenna is at the ground level? Radius of earth `= 6400 km`.

A

`3258km^(2)`

B

`4180km^(2)`

C

`2510km^(2)`

D

`1525km^(2)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Service area it can cover, `A=pid^(2)`
`A=pi(2hR)=(22)/(7)xx2xx81xx6.4xx10^(6)m^(2)=3258km^(2)`
