First find the time that the ball is level with the top of the building on its descent. You can do this by solving 280 = -16^2 + 48t + 280 for t. This gives t = 3 seconds .
Then when the ball reaches the ground the time t is obtained by solving 0 = -16t^2 + 48t + 280 This gives t = 5.94 seconds.
Answer in interval notation is (3, 5.94].
Visualize the image in your mind and you can see that it forms a right angled triangle with a base,altitude and hypotenuse
base=2 feet
hypotenuse(ladder)=13 ft
We need to find the altitude,
By applying pythagoras theorem,
base square+altitude square=hypotenuse square
Take altitude as x
2 square+x square=13 square
4+x square=169
x square=169-4
x square=165
x= root of 165
x=12.8 feet(approx.)
It will chime 11 times during 8:15 a.m.-1:35 p.m.
