Note that the interior angles must add up to 180 degrees: 50+62+m<C = 180.
Then 112 + m<C = 180, so that m<C =68 degrees.
Use the Law of Sines to find the value of a, as follows:
sin 50 deg sin 62 deg
-------------- = ----------------
a 31 cm
31sin 50 31(0.766)
Then 31sin 50 = a*sin 62, and a = --------------- = ---------------- = 26.9 cm
sin 62 0.883
a =
A = 16 over 49
b= 2 then 1 over 10

Answer: Max height = 455.6 feet</h3>
========================================================
Explanation:
The general equation
y = ax^2 + bx + c
has the vertex (h,k) such that
h = -b/(2a)
In this case, a = -16 and b = 147. This means,
h = -b/(2a)
h = -147/(2*(-16))
h = 4.59375
The x coordinate of the vertex is x = 4.59375
Plug this into the original equation to find the y coordinate of the vertex.
y = -16x^2+147x+118
y = -16(4.59375)^2+147(4.59375)+118
y = 455.640625
The vertex is located at (h,k) = (4.59375, 455.640625)
The max height of the rocket occurs at the vertex point. Therefore, the max height is y = 455.640625 feet which rounds to y = 455.6 feet
