Answer:

198m

Step-by-step explanation:

Distance = speed x time

. d = 330m/s x 1.2s = 396m

This is the distance travelled by the sound from the person to the object and then back to the person. To get the distance from the person to the object, we would have to divide by 2.

. distance = 396 / 2 = 198m
