Answer:

The answer to your question is 14° and 76°

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

leg 1 = x

leg 2 = x/4

angle 1 = ?

angle 2 = ?

Process

To solve problem use trigonometric functions. We must use the trigonometric function that relates both legs (tangent).

    tangent Ф = Opposite side / Adjacent side

-Substitution

    tan Ф = (x/4) / x

-Simplification

    tan Ф = x / 4x

    tan Ф = 1/4

-  Find Ф

     Ф = tan⁻¹(1/4) =  14°

- Find the other acute angle

  The sum of the internal angles in a triangles equals 180°

       Ф + Ф₁ + 90° = 180

-Solve for Ф₁

        Ф₁  = 180 - 90 - 14

-Result

        Ф₁ = 76°

Answer:

t=0.64

Step-by-step explanation:

h = -16t^2 +4t +4

We want h =0 since it is hitting the ground

0 = -16t^2 +4t +4

Using the quadratic formula

a = -16  b = 4  c=4

-b ± sqrt( b^2 -4ac)

----------------------------

         2a

-4 ± sqrt( 4^2 -4(-16)4)

----------------------------

         2(-16)

-4 ± sqrt( 16+ 256)

----------------------------

         -32

-4 ± sqrt( 272)

----------------------------

         -32

-4 ± sqrt( 16*17)

----------------------------

         -32

-4 ± sqrt( 16) sqrt(17)

----------------------------

         -32

-4 ± 4 sqrt(17)

----------------------------

         -32

Divide by -4

1 ±  sqrt(17)

----------------------------

         8

To the nearest hundredth

t=-0.39

t=0.64

Since time cannot be negative

t=0.64
