koban [17]

Answer:

t is approximately 10.41 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

s = 16t^2

1734 = 16t^2

divide by 16

1734/16 = 16t^2/16

1734/16 = t^2

take the square root of each side

sqrt(1734/16) = sqrt(t^2)

we only take the positive square root because time must be positive

sqrt(1734/16) = t

t is approximately 10.41 seconds
