A projectile is launched off the roof of a 180-meter-tall building close to its edge, where the initial velocity's horizontal component is 20 m/s and its vertical component is 25 m/s. If the projectile lands on the ground below, how far from the building's side (in meters) does the projectile land? Round your answer to the nearest hundredth (0.01). Hint: Find the time it spends in mid-air using the quadratic equation, then use that time to find the distance. If At2+Bt+C=0, then t=2A−B±B2−4AC It should give you two values for time; make sure to pick the right one!
