we can use height formula
where
h(t) is the height after t seconds
v is velocity
h(0) is initial height
g is acceleration due to gravity
we know that
g=32 ft/s^2
we have
v=18.5ft/s
h(0)=4.5ft
so, we can plug these values
and we get
now, we have to find time when object will hit the ground
and we know that object will hit the ground when height becomes 0
so, we can set h(t)=0
and then we can solve for t
we can use pythagoras theorem

Answer:
(a) 42.3°
Step-by-step explanation:
Side 'a' is the shortest of three unequal sides, so angle A will be the smallest angle in the triangle. Its measure can be found from the Law of Cosines.
a² = b² +c² -2bc·cos(A)
cos(A) = (b² +c² -a²)/(2bc) = (21² +25² -17²)/(2·21·25) = 777/1050
A = arccos(777/1050) ≈ 42.3°
The measure of angle A is about 42.3°.

<u><em>Additional comment</em></u>
The smallest angle in a triangle can never be greater than 60°. This lets you eliminate choices that exceed that value.
