Answer:
<h2>a = 400/21, b = 580/21</h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
Small triangles are similar. Therefore, the sides are proportional
<em>cross multiply</em>
<em>divide both sides by 21</em>
For b, we can use the Pythagorean theorem:
Are 6 and 15 the legs of the triangle?
If the ball hit the ground it means that its height is equal to 0. In order to find the time after the ball <span>will hit the ground, we need to find the solution of the equation h(x)=0 which is different to 0.
-4.9x^2+21.3x=0
x(-4.9x+21.3)=0
-4.9x+21.3=0
x=21.3/4.9 = 4.3469 seconds</span>
