Answer:

The length of DF must be between 21 and 53.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a triangle, the length of two sides added together must exceed the length of the 3rd side. So, since EF is the shortest of the two givens, we know that EF + DF must be greater than DE. So we can plug in these numbers to find the minimum.

EF + DF > DE

16 + DF > 37

DF > 21

Now, for the upper maximum, we know that the two given lengths must be greater than the length of DF. So again, we can solve for the maximum using the amounts.

DE + EF > DF

37 + 16 > DF

53 > DF

With these two in mind, we know that DF must be between 21 and 53

Syyedah throws a baseball with an initial velocity of 30 meters per second from a roof at an initial height of 75 meters. Write
Yuliya22 [10]
Initial velocity: v o = 30 m/s
h = 75 m
h = v o * t + g * t² / 2
75 = 30 · t + 9.8 · t² / 2
75 = 30 t + 4.9 t²
An equation is: y = 4.9 t² + 30 t - 75
4.9 t² + 30 t - 75 = 0
t_{12}= \frac{-30+/- \sqrt{900+1470} }{9.8}= \\  =\frac{-30+48.68}{9.8}
t = 1.9 s
