The correct Answer is:
To find the maximum area up to which a TV communication can be possible from a tower of height 75 meters, we can use the formula for the area covered by the signals: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Formula**: The area \( A \) that can be covered by the signals from a tower is given by the formula: \[ A = 2 \pi r h \] where: - \( r \) is the radius of the Earth, - \( h \) is the height of the tower. 2. **Convert the Height**: The height of the tower is given as 75 meters. We need to convert this height into kilometers for consistency with the radius of the Earth. \[ h = 75 \, \text{meters} = 75 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{km} = 0.075 \, \text{km} \] 3. **Use the Radius of the Earth**: The average radius of the Earth is approximately 6400 km. Thus, we have: \[ r = 6400 \, \text{km} \] 4. **Substitute the Values into the Formula**: Now we can substitute the values of \( r \) and \( h \) into the area formula: \[ A = 2 \pi (6400) (0.075) \] 5. **Calculate the Area**: We can use \( \pi \approx 3.14 \) for our calculations: \[ A = 2 \times 3.14 \times 6400 \times 0.075 \] \[ A = 2 \times 3.14 \times 6400 \times 0.075 = 2 \times 3.14 \times 480 = 3014.4 \, \text{km}^2 \] 6. **Final Result**: The maximum area up to which TV communication can be possible is approximately: \[ A \approx 3018 \, \text{km}^2 \] ### Conclusion: The maximum area up to which this TV communication can be possible is approximately **3018 km²**.
