A discus is thrown from a height of 3 feet with an initial velocity of 55 ft/s at an angle of 44° with the horizontal. How long

will it take for the discus to reach the ground?
I started off with 55cos(44)=40 then I made an equation 40t-16(t)=2.5 seconds? I feel like I did this wrong because I didn't add 3 feet anywhere
or do I add 3 in to 55cos(44) giving me an answer of 2.6

Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. I hope the answer will help you. Feel free to ask more questions.
Yes, the 3 feet are important. 
<span>You can consider the datum (y=0) at 3' from the ground, and the ground is therefore at -3 feet. </span>

<span>The vertical initial velocity, vy, is u*sin(θ), so it gives </span>
<span>vy=55sin(44°)=38.21 approx. </span>

<span>The (vertical) distance travelled is given by: </span>
<span>S=vy*t-(1/2)gt² </span>
<span>where </span>
<span>S=-3 (ground) </span>
<span>vy=55sin(44°), and </span>
<span>g=32.2 ft/s² </span>
<span>Solve for t. </span>
<span>I get -0.08 and 2.45 s.</span>

horrorfan [7]
I count five 'k's there, so that part of the expression is

                                     k⁵  .

Two 'n's form the rest of it, so that part is  n² .

The parts are multiplied, so the simplest form of the expression is

                                     k⁵ n²  .

Quadrilateral ABCD has coordinates A (3,1) B (4,4) C (7,5) D (6,2). Quadrilateral ABCD is a ?
ASHA 777 [7]
The Quadrilateral ABCD with coordinates (3, 1), (4, 4), (7, 5), (6, 2) is a rhombus because its length and width are both square root of 10 units and adjacent sides are not perpendicular. This can be seen by plotting the points you can either plot it or by using programs.

I hope this helps, God bless, and have a great day!

Answer: g^2+2g+1

Step-by-step explanation: Since she wants each side to be 1 inch larger, each side has a length of g+1. You need to find the area by squaring (g+1).

Write this as (g+1)(g+1). Use the FOIL method to get g^2+g+g+1. Simplify this to g^2+2g+1.
