The value of the length DF is 1/4 of that of CD because of the Angle Bisector Theorem for triangles.
<h3>What is the Angle Bisector Theorem?</h3>
The Angel Bisector Theorem states that if a ray bisects an angle of a triangle, it dissects the side of the triangle that is opposite to the dissected angle into parts that are proportionate to the adjacent sides.
Note that the angle that has been dissected here is ∠CBD. Thus,
=

Answer:
- 168.25 ft
- 3.125 s
Step-by-step explanation:
It is almost too easy to let a graphing calculator show you the solution. (See attached)
_____
You may be expected to use some actual algebra (or even calculus) to find the solution.
If you've spent any time with quadratics, you know the vertex of ax²+bx+c is located at x=-b/(2a). Here, that means the time to get to the highest point is ...
... t = -100/(2·(-16)) = 100/32 = 3.125 . . . . seconds
Then the highest point is ...
... h(3.125) = -16·3.125² +100·3.125 +12 = 168.25 . . . . feet
_____
Or, you can put the equation into vertex form.
... h(t) = -16t² +100t +12
... = -16(t² +6.25t) +12
... = -16(t² +6.25t +3.125²) +12 +16·3.125² . . . . . add the square of half the t coefficient inside parentheses; add the opposite of the same amount outside parentheses
... = -16(t +3.125)² +168.25 . . . . . simplify
This tells us the peak of the travel of the bullet is at 168.25 ft after 3.125 seconds.
