<u><em>Answer:</em></u>
AC = 10sin(40°)
<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>
The diagram representing the question is shown in the attached image
Since the given triangle is a right-angled triangle, we can apply the special trig functions
<u>These functions are as follows:</u>
sin(θ) = opposite / hypotenuse
cos(θ) = adjacent / hypotenuse
tan(θ) = opposite / adjacent
<u>Now, in the given diagram:</u>
θ = 40°
AC is the side opposite to θ
AB = 10 in is the hypotenuse
<u>Based on these givens</u>, we will use the sin(θ) function
<u>Therefore:</u>

Answer:
- 40 ft
- t = 1 second
Step-by-step explanation:
A graphing calculator answers these questions easily.
The ball achieves a maximum height of 40 ft, 1 second after it is thrown.

The equation is usefully put into vertex form, as the vertex is the answer to the questions asked.
h(t) = -16(t^2 -2t) +24
h(t) = -16(t^2 -2t +1) +24 +16 . . . . . . complete the square
h(t) = -16(t -1)^2 +40 . . . . . . . . . vertex form
Compare this to the vertex form:
f(x) = a(x -h)^2 +k . . . . . . vertex (h, k); vertical stretch factor 'a'
We see the vertex of our height equation is ...
(h, k) = (1, 40)
The ball reaches a maximum height of 40 feet at t = 1 second after it is thrown.
