Answer:137.2

Explanation:

To find the distance to the cliff, you can use the speed of sound formula:

Distance = Speed × Time

In this case, the speed of sound is 343 meters per second (m/s), and the time is 0.400 seconds.

Distance = 343 m/s × 0.400 s = 137.2 meters

Distance=343m/s×0.400s=137.2meters

So, the cliff is approximately 137.2 meters away if an echo is heard 0.400 seconds after the original sound.
