Due to gravity, an object falls 16t^2 feet in t seconds. You drop a backpack from a window that is 20 feet above the ground. Will the backpack hit the ground in 1 second?

NO

Step-by-step explanation:

Let h(t) represent the distance the pack is located above the ground at time t.  Then h(t) = 20 ft - 16t^2 ft.  Notice how h = 20 ft (the initial height) and that it decreases as t increases.

How long does it take for the pack tohit the ground?  Set h(t) = 0 and solve for t:

0 ft = 20 ft - 16t^2 ft yields 16t^2 ft = 20, or t^2 ft = 20/16, which is greater than 1.  So the question "Will the backpack hit the ground in 1 second" is answered by NO.

c. 27 units.

step-by-step explanation:

we are told that in circle a, ∠bae ≅ ∠dae.

we can see from our given diagram that in and ;

, as these are radii of our given circle.

therefore, by sas congruence postulate.

hence, side be will be equal to side de as corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent. so we can set an equation to find the value of x as:

now let us substitute x=17 in the expression for the length of be.

therefore, length of be will be 27 units and option c is the correct choice.
