Angles of Elevation and Depression are used in measuring heights and distances in trigonometric applications using right triangles. These angles are made when we look up or down to view objects. Devices are available to measure angles of elevation and depression. These measured angles can be used in measuring heights and distance which are either tedious or impractical to measure, by modelling the situation into right triangles

Answer:
48 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
For the quadratic ax^2 +bx +c, the axis of symmetry is x = -b/(2a). For the given quadratic, which defines a parabola opening downward, the axis of symmetry defines the time at which the maximum height is reached.
t = -48/(2(-16)) = 1.5
Then the maximum height is ...
f(1.5) = (-16·1.5 +48)1.5 +12 = (24·1.5) +12
f(1.5) = 48
The maximum height the object will reach is 48 feet.
