\n" ); document.write( "Not sure if you mean,
\n" ); document.write( "\"t=sqrt%28d%29%2F2\" or \"t=sqrt%28d%2F2%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So,if \"t=1.08\" seconds, we have\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"1.08=sqrt%28d%29%2F2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"sqrt%28d%29=2%281.08%29\"...square both sides\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%28sqrt%28d%29%29%5E2=%282%281.08%29%29%5E2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"d=%282.16%29%5E2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"d=4.7\" in feet
