By using what we know about right triangles, we will see that the distance is 1479.4 ft

<h3></h3><h3>How to find the distance between point A and point B?</h3>

We assume that the distance between the points is a hypotenuse of a right triangle whit one of the angles measuring 8°, and the adjacent cathetus measuring 1465 ft.

Then we use the relation:

Cos(a) = (adjacent cath)/(hypotenuse)

cos(8°) = (1465 ft)/(distance)

distance = (1465ft)/cos(8°) = 1479.4 ft

HURRY HELP PLS‼️‼️‼️
Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem you need the function

 

h(t) = -16t2 + v0t + h0

where t = time

v0 is the initial velocity, which in our case is 0

h0 = initial height, which in our case is 256

h(t) = 0 since we want to know when the ball will hit the ground.

 

0 = -16 t2 + 256

 

And we can solve for t

 

If we rearrange the terms we see that this is a difference of 2 squares

0 = 256 - 16t2

 

0 = (16-4t)(16+4t)

Setting each factor = 0

16-4t=0       16+4t=4

t = 4             t = -4

 

The second solution is discarded as time cannot be negative.

 

So the ball will hit the ground in 4 seconds.
