Answer:
5.7 cm or 2 1/4 in
Step-by-step explanation:
Your tape measure is not shown.
On my tape measure, 5.7 cm is the closest mark. On the inch scale, 2 1/4 inches is the next-closest mark.
_____
On a tape measure graduated in 1/32 inch between 2 and 3 inches, you can find the closest mark by rounding to the nearest 32nd:
2.23607 × 32 ≈ 71.55 ≈ 72 --- 32nds of an inch
72/32 = 2 1/4 . . . . the closest mark on an inch ruler graduated in 32nds
__
For a ruler graduated in millimeters, you can find the closest millimeter in the same way. There are 25.4 mm to the inch.
2.23607 in × 25.4 mm/in ≈ 56.80 mm ≈ 57 mm
57 mm = 5.7 cm . . . closest mark on metric scale
__
When we check the error, we find the metric mark is closer than the inch mark.
5.7 cm ≈ 2.24409 in . . . . error of 0.00802 in
2 1/2 in = 2.25000 in . . . error of 0.01393 in
Using Pythagorean thereon

Hello!</h2>
The answer is:
The correct option is the option D

<h2>
Why?</h2>
To calculate the acceleration, we need to use the following formula that involves the given information (initial speed, final speed, and time).
We need to use the following free fall equation:

Where:
is the final speed.
is the initial speed.
g is the acceleration due to gravity.
t is the time.
We are given the following information:



Then, using the formula to isolate the acceleration, we have:


Now, substituting we have:


Therefore, since we are looking for a magnitude, we have that the obtained value will be positive, so:

Hence, the correct option is the option D

Have a nice day!
The answer is C: 
Starting with the given formula for the area, A = 1/2hb, the first step is to isolate h by using the multiplicative inverse of b, which is
on both sides of the equation:

The result will be:

The last step is to use the multiplicative inverse of
, which is 2 or
to further isolate the variable <em>h </em>:

The formula for h will be:
which is the option C in your question.
