Consider the distance formula d = 16t^2 where d is the distance in feet that an object travels and t is the time in seconds that it travels. How long does it take an object to travel 624 feet?(1 point)

To find how long it takes an object to travel 624 feet using the distance formula d = 16t^2, we can substitute d with 624 and solve for t:
624 = 16t^2
To solve for t^2, we divide both sides by 16:
624 / 16 = t^2
t^2 = 39
To solve for t, we take the square root of both sides:
t = √39
Therefore, the correct answer is the square root of 39 seconds.
