Answer

$\text{approximately }1.63\text{ }m$

Work Step by Step

Using the given formula $ h=\dfrac{0.00252d^{2.27}}{e} ,$ with $ d=25 ,$ and $ e=2.3 ,$ then \begin{align*} h&=\dfrac{0.00252(25)^{2.27}}{2.3} \\\\&\approx 1.63 .\end{align*} Hence, the optimal height, $h,$ of the letters of a message printed on pavement is $ \text{approximately }1.63\text{ }m .$
