In a Canadian Football League game, the path at one particular kick-off can be modelled using tge function h(d)=-0.02d^2+2.6d-66.5,where h is the height of the ball and d is the horizontal distance from the kicking team's goal line,both in yards. A value of h(d)=0 represents the height of the ball at ground level. What horizontal distance does the ball travel before it hits the ground.
