Answer:

it will take 5.5 seconds to hit the ground

Step-by-step explanation:

A projectile is shot vertically from the ground level. It’s height h, in feet, after t seconds is given by h = 88t - 16t ^2

When the projectile hits the ground then the height becomes 0

h = 88t - 16t ^2

0 = 88t - 16t ^2

GCF is -8t

0 = 8t(11 - 2t)

now set each factor =0 and solve for t

8t=0, t=0

11-2t=0, t=\frac{11}{2}

So it will take 5.5 seconds to hit the ground

Answer:

5.5 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is

h = 88t - 16t ^2

where, h is height (in feet) of projectile after t seconds.

We need to find the time taken by projectile to hit the ground.

At ground level, the height of projectile is 0.

Substitute h=0 in the given function to find the time at which it hit the ground.

0=88t - 16t ^2

0=8t(11 - 2t)

Using zero product property we get

8t=0\Rightarrow t=0

11-2t=0\Rightarrow t=\frac{11}{2}=5.5

It mean projectile hits the ground at x=0 and x=5.5 seconds. We know that x=0 is the initial stage.

Therefore, so time taken by projectile to hit the ground is 5.5 seconds.

We can first look into the properties of parallelogram,you can also take reference from the figure above:

-Opposite sides are parallel and are congruent.
-Opposite angles are congruent.
-The diagonals bisect each other.

We can then look into the answer:

A.Opposite angles are congurent.
-This is an correct statement.

B.Diagonals are congruent.
-This is incorrect,although they bisect each other,they do not have the same length.

C.The diagonals are peroendicular to each other.
-This is incorrect as well,not every parallelogram has the angle of 90° in the place where the diagonals bisect each others.

D.The area is equal to the product of two adjacent side-this is not true,to find the area,it have to be base×height.

Therefore the answer is A.

Hope it helps!
