Radio Distance Formula
The following formula is used to calculate the Radio Distance.
RD = 3.569*SQRT(H)
- Where RD is the Radio Distance (km)
- H is the height of the radio tower (m)
How to Calculate Radio Distance?
The following example problems outline how to calculate Radio Distance.
Example Problem #1:
- First, determine the height of the radio tower (m).
- The height of the radio tower (m) is given as: 150.
- Finally, calculate the Radio Distance using the equation above:
RD = 3.569*SQRT(H)
The values given above are inserted into the equation below and the solution is calculated:
RD = 3.569*SQRT(150) = 43.71 (km)
Example Problem #2:
For this problem, the variables needed are provided below:
height of the radio tower (m) = 75
This example problem is a test of your knowledge on the subject. Use the calculator above to check your answer.
RD = 3.569*SQRT(H) = ?
