Answer:

<em>The ball is 8 seconds in the air.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Equations</u>

The height of a ball thrown in the air is given by the equation:

h(t)=-t^2+8t

We assume the time is expressed in seconds.

The ball will be in the air while its height is positive. When its height is zero, it means the ball could be at launch time or returning to the ground level.

Setting h(t)=0:

-t^2+8t=0

Factoring:

t(-t+8)=0

There are two possible solutions:

t=0, t=8 sec

The first solution corresponds to the moment the ball is being thrown, the second solution corresponds to the moment the ball is returning to the ground, thus:

The ball is 8 seconds in the air.

We know, widest angle is always opposite to the largest side of the triangle, as largest side is 50 here (which is backward to house) so largest angle would be opposite to it. So, that corner will be touched by  Fence A & B

"Proportionality Theorem" compares the sides of the same triangle 
Here, According to that theorem, 
ST / RS = UT / PU

If FG is an altitude, then <DFG  is an right triangle.
In short, Your Answer would be Option B

For last question here, remember, longest side must be greater than either side, and must be smaller than sum of those smaller sides.
