How long would it take for an egg dropped from a helicopter to fall 256 feet to the ground? d=16t^2

1 answer:

7 0

Well the position function is:

h(t)=-16t^2+256

It will hit the ground when h(t)=0

-16t^2+256=0 factor out -16

-16(t^2-16)=0 factor difference of squares...

-16(t+4)(t-4)=0, since t>0

t=4 seconds

Answer:

210.33 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that 6 equilateral triangles makes one hexagon.

Also, an equilateral triangle has all its sides equal.

If the tile of each side of the triangular tile measure 9 cm, then the height of the triangular tiles can be gotten using Pythagoras's Theorem.

The triangle formed by each tile can be split along its height, into two right angle triangles with base (adjacent) 4.5 cm and slant side (hypotenuse) of 9 cm. The height (opposite) is calculated as,

From Pythagoras's theorem,

$hyp^{2} = adj^{2} + opp^{2}$
