Answer:
The dime hits the ground after 8 sec.
Step-by-step explanation:
Set h(t) = -16t^2 + h(0) equal to 0: -16t^2 + 1,024 ft = 0, or:
16t^2 = 1,024 ft, or:
t^2 = 64 ft^2
Then t = +8 sec
The dime hits the ground after 8 sec.
the assumption being that the endpoints are two continuous points in the pentagon, Check picture below.
