-A person at the top of a 600 foot tall building drops a yellow ball. The height of the yellow ball is given by the equation h = -16t2 + 600 where h is measured in feet and t is the number of seconds since the yellow ball was
Dropped. A second person, in the same building but on a lower floor that is 408 feet from the ground, drops a
White ball 3 seconds after the yellow ball was dropped. The height of the white ball is given by the equation
H = -16(t - 3) 2 + 408 where h is measured in feet and t is the number of seconds since the yellow ball was
Dropped. Find the time that the balls are the same distance above the ground and find this distance.

A) 2.5 sec; 500 ft
B) 3.5 sec; 404 ft
C) 3 sec; 456 ft
D) 4 sec; 344 ft
