Answer:

0.431 inches

Explanation:

We were given the following values:

Height the tennis ball was dropped = 100in

Rebound height = 58in

We have to find the rebound ratio

= 58in/100in = 0.58

The formula to be used

Height on nth bounce = Initial height × (Rebound ratio)ⁿ

Where n = number of bounce

Height on the 10th bounce = 100 × (0.58)^10

Height on the 10th bounce = 0.4308042069inches

Approximately, the height on the 10th bounce = 0.431 inches.
