Answer 1

6.1 seconds

Explanation:

The correct question is

A helicopter flying at an altitude of 600 ft dropped a package to a lifeboat. Use the formula t= √h/4 to find how many seconds it takes for the package to reach the lifeboat. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a second

we have

`t= (√(h))/(4)`

substitute the value of h in the formula

`h=600\ ft`

`t= (√(600))/(4)=6.1\ sec`
