Answer:
MKL = 36°
Step-by-step explanation:
(3x + 6) + (6x + 12) = 54°
3x + 6x + 6 + 12 = 54
9x + 18 = 54
9x = 54 - 18
9x = 36
x = 36/9
x = 4
MKL = 6x + 12
MKL = 6(4) + 12
MKL = 24 + 12
MKL = 36°
Remember that c is the initial height. Since we the rocket is in a 99-foot cliff, c=99. Also, we know that the velocity of the rocket is 122 ft/s; therefore v=122
Lets replace the values into the the vertical motion formula to get:

Notice that the rocket hits the ground at the bottom of the cliff, which means that the final height is 99-foot bellow its original position; therefore, our final height will be h=-99
Lets replace this into our equation to get:


Now we can apply the quadratic formula

where a=-16, b=122, and c=198


or


or


or

Since the time can't be negative, we can conclude that the rocket hits the ground after 9 seconds.
