Answer:
The area is 72 cm².
Step-by-step explanation:
Since it is equivalent triangle
h = b
so,
b + b + b (since all sides are equal)= 36 cm
3b = 36 cm
or, b = 36/3
so, b = 12 cm
so
area of triangle = (1/2)×b×h
= (1/2)×12cm×12cm
= 6cm × 12cm
= 72 cm²
The equation of the height as a function of time for this case is given by:
h (t) = - 16t ^ 2 + 10t + 100
By the time the egg hits the ground we have:
-16t ^ 2 + 10t + 100 = 0
We look for the roots of the polynomial:
t1 = -2.2069555463432966
t2 = 2.8319555463432966
As it is about time, we use the positive root:
t = 2.83 s
Answer:
it hits the ground at:
t = 2.83 s
