I believe your answer is 6 seconds.
Because the height of the ball = -16(x² - 5x - 6), when the height of the ball is 0, which is when it is on the ground, we can set -16(x² - 5x - 6) equal to 0. This also allows us to divide by -16, and then we can solve the equation:
x² - 5x - 6 = 0
(x - 6)(x + 1) = 0
So x = 6 or x = -1, and because a quantity of time cannot be negative, x would have to be 6, which means it takes 6 seconds for the ball to reach 0 feet.
I hope this helps!
Formula for Perimeter of Rectangle:
P = 2(L + W)
Plug in 160:
160 = 2(L + W)
L = 4W
So we can plug in '4W' for 'L' in the first equation.
<span>160 = 2(L + W)
160 = 2(4W + W)
Combine like terms:
160 = 2(5W)
160 = 10W
Divide 10 to both sides:
W = 16
Now we can plug this back into any of the two equations to find the length.
L = 4W
L = 4(16)
L = 64
So the width is 16, and the length is 64.</span>
Distribute: 3x+6+4=5x+7
Simplify: 3x+10=5x+7
Subtract 3x from both sides: 10=2x + 7
Subtract 7 from both sides: 3=2x
Divide by 2: x=3/2
x=3/2

The area of square is 
square units
<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>
Given that square has side length (x+5) units
To find: area of square
<em><u>The area of square is given as:</u></em>
Where "a" is the length of side
From question, length of each side "a" = x + 5 units
Substituting the value in above formula,
Thus the area of square is square units
