A cannonball is shot out of a cannon at a 45◦ angle with an approximate speed of 283 m/s. The cannon
from which the ball was fired sits on the edge of a cliff, and its height above the ground is 20 meters. The
equations given above represent the cannonball’s height above the ground (y) and its horizontal distance
(x) from the face of the cliff, t seconds after it was fired, where t ≥ 0. How many seconds after the ball was
fired does its vertical height above the ground equal its horizontal distance from the cliff?
A. 1. B. 2. C. 3. D. 4.

pool has a length that is 2 feet less than twice its width, and the area of the top of the pool is 480 square
feet, how many linear feet of fencing are required, assuming the fence is placed 1 foot from the edge of the
water on all sides?
A. 92. B. 100. C. 108. D. 116.
