Answer:

21.2 square meters

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a parallelogram is base • height.

So:

1. Calculate the area of what you can get for $50. 5 • 212 = 1060 square meters.

2. Now you divide the first price ($50) by the desired price ($1). This one is easy because 50 / 1 = 50, but I'm putting this here for future reference in case you need to solve a problem that has a desired price that's greater than $1.

3. Divide the answer to step one by the answer to step two to get the area you can have painted for $1. 1060 / 50 = 21.2 square meters.

Answer:

Solution : Parabola

Step-by-step explanation:

As you can see only one variable is square in this situation, so it can only be a parabola. We can prove that it is a parabola however by converting it into standard form (x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2.

$y^2-1=4\left(x-7\right) = y^2-1=4\left(x-7\right)$
