The complete question in the attached figure

we know that
<span>applying the Pythagorean theorem in triangle ABC
</span>AC²=AB²+BC²----------> AB²=AC²-BC²---------> 10²-8²-------> AB²=36-----> AB=6

in the triangle ABC
tan a=BC/AB--------> 8/6--------> tan a=4/3
tan c=AB/BC--------> 6/8--------> tan c=3/4

in the triangle ABD
tan a=BD/AD---------> tan a=BD/x-------> BD=x*tan a
BD=x*(4/3)-----------> equation 1

in the triangle BDC
tan c=BD/DC------------------> BD=(10-x)*tan c------> BD=(10-x)*(3/4)
BD=(10-x)*(3/4)-------------> equation 2

equal 1 and 2
x*(4/3)=(10-x)*(3/4)------> 16x=9*(10-x)--------> 16x=90-9x----> 25x=90
x=90/25-----------> x=3.6
BD=x*(4/3)--------> BD=3.6*(4/3)---------->  BD=4.8 units

the answer is BD=4.8 units

If an object is dropped from a height of 55 feet, the function d = -16^2 + 55 gives the height of the object after t seconds. Gr
motikmotik

Answer:

Approximately  1.9 seconds   (correct to nearest tenth)

Step-by-step explanation:

Looks like the function is  d = -16t^2 + 55    ( you left out the t)

The answer is the value of t when d = 0 so we have the equation:-

0 =  -16t^2 + 55

16t^2 = 55

t^2 = 55/16

t = sqrt (55/16)

= 1.85 seconds
