Remember that c is the initial height. Since we the rocket is in a 99-foot cliff, c=99. Also, we know that the velocity of the rocket is 122 ft/s; therefore v=122
Lets replace the values into the the vertical motion formula to get:
0=-16 t^{2} +122t+99
Notice that the rocket hits the ground at the bottom of the cliff, which means that the final height is 99-foot bellow its original position; therefore, our final height will be h=-99
Lets replace this into our equation to get:
-99=-16 t^{2} +122t+99
-16 t^{2} +122+198=0

Now we can apply the quadratic formula t= \frac{-b+or- \sqrt{ b^{2} -4ac} }{2a} where a=-16, b=122, and c=198
t= \frac{-122+or- \sqrt{ 122^{2}-(4)(-16)(198) } }{(2)(-16)}
t= \frac{-122+ \sqrt{27556} }{-32} or t= \frac{-122- \sqrt{27556} }{-32}
t= \frac{-122+166}{-32} or t= \frac{-122-166}{-32}
t= \frac{-11}{8} or t=9

Since the time can't be negative, we can conclude that the rocket hits the ground after 9 seconds.

In □PQRS side PQ∥ side RS. If m∠P = 108degree
natka813 [3]

<h2>Given :-</h2>

In □PQRS side PQ∥ side RS. If m∠P = 108degree

and m∠R = 53degree

<h2>To Find :-</h2>

m∠Q and m∠S.

<h2>Solution :-</h2>

According to angle sum property

P∠Q=180−∠P

∠Q=180−108

\boxed{\sf{\angle Q = 72°}}

For angle S

∠S=180−∠R

∠S=180−53

\boxed{\sf {\angle S = 127°}}
