From the top of a tall building, a gun is fired. The bullet leaves the gun at a speed of 340 m/s, parallel to the ground. As the drawing shows, the bullet puts a hole in a window of another building and hits the wall that faces the window. (y = 0.44 m, and x = 6.8 m.) Using the data in the drawing, determine the distances D and H, which locate the point where the gun was fired. Assume that the bullet does not slow down as it passes through the window.

I have a very good question too. With no drawing, how in the world do we even know what you are talking about with distances D and H? We need to be mind readers? Some teachers may be able to do that but I'm not one of them.
