Have A Great Day!
Answer:
3.15 seconds is the answer.
<u>Explanation</u>
when the ball touches the ground, h =0
hence,
0=255-21t-16t²
16t²+21t-225=0
here a=16 ,b=21, c= -225

time cannot be negative, hence t = -4.46 can be avoided
The ball takes 3.15 seconds to hit the ground.
<span>Similar means their sides have the same ratio but don't have to be the same length. So if two rectangles are similar with a scale factor of 2 then the ratio of their areas would be 4:1.
Hope this helped :)</span>
