Answer:

B 5 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

h = 240 + 32t – 16t^2

When is this equation 0

0 = 240 + 32t – 16t^2

Factor out 16

0 = -16(-15-2t+t^2)

   = -16(t^2-2t-15)

What 2 numbers multiply to -15 and add to -2

-5*3 = -15

-5+3 =-2


0 = -16(t-5) (t+3)

Using the zero product property

t-5=0   t+3=0

t=5    t=-3

Since time cannot be negative

t=5 seconds

Mateo built the skateboard ramp below and filled it with pebbles to make it more stable.
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

The shape can be broken into a rectangular prism and a triangular prism.

The volume of the ramp is 24 feet cubed.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ramp has a rectangular prism and triangular prism. The combined shape makes the ramp.

The volume of a rectangular prism = Bh

where

B = base area

B = length × width

h = height

volume = 1.5 × 4.8 × 2 = 14.4  ft³

The volume of a triangular prism = base area + slant height

volume = 1/2 b × h × l

where

b = base of the triangle

h = height of the triangle

l = slant height of the prism

volume = 1/2 × 2 × 2 × 4.8 = 19.2/2 = 9.6  ft³

The volume of the ramp = 14.4 + 9.6 = 24 ft³
