Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Check attachment for solution and better understanding
AC and BC are tangent, then AC and BC will form a right angle with the radius of the circle
Given that,
EC = 20in
And Radius = 26in
Find AC and BC.
Though AC and BC are similar.
Taking Triangle ADC, check attachment, it is a right angle triangle.
Since it is a right angle triangle, we can apply Pythagoras theorem
DC² = AD² + AC²
46² = 26² + AC²
46² - 26² = AC²
AC² = 1440
AC = √1440
AC = 37.95 in
Also, taking triangle DBC
DC² = DB² + BC²
BC² = DC² - DB²
BC² = 46² - 26²
BC² = 1440
BC = √1440
BC = 37.95 in

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
h varies as
Above h represents the height of object at any instant t
For example at t=0
h=190 ft
At t=1 s
h=-16+64+190=238 ft
For maximum height differentiate h w.r.t time
Put to get maximum height
t=2 i.e. at t= 2 s h is maximum
h at t=2 s
