Question:

A T.V. tower has a height of 150 m. The area of the region covered, the T.V. broadcast is (radius of earth = $6.4 × 10^6 m$) -

Options:

$9.6 π × 10^8 m^2$

$19.2π × 10^8 m^2$

$19.2 π × 10^7 m^2$

$1.92π × 10^3 km^2$

Correct Answer:

$19.2π × 10^8 m^2$

Explanation:

Area of the region covered for broadcasting

$= πd^2 = π(2hR)$

$= π × 2 × 150 × 6.4 × 10^6$

$= π × 300 × 6.4 × 10^6$

$= 19.2 × π × 108 m^2$
