Answer:

Yes,the lightning is strike within one mile of Alyssa.

Explanation:

We are given that

1 mile=5280 feet

1 meter=3.28 feet

Speed of sound=343 m/s

We have to find the lighting is strike within one mile of Alyssa.

1 meter=3.28 feet

343 m/s=
343* 3.28 ft/s

343 m/s=1125.04 ft/s

Sound travel 1125.04 ft in 1 sec

1125.04 ft is less than 5280 feet

It means it lies within one mile.

Hence, the lightning is strike within one mile of Alyssa.
