Answer:
Use the pythagorean theorem to solve.
Step-by-step explanation:

The square root and the square cancel out. Then your answer will be the square root of 13 or 3.60555127546. Since the instructions say to round to 2 places we will do so. 3.61 meters is the length of the slide
Do both as equation it will make it easier for her
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The roots of the quadratic function (x-intercepts) are
x=-1 and x=5/3
so
we can write the equation of the parabola as

where
a is a coefficient
Remember that
The parabola pass through the point (5,40)
substitute the value of x and the value of y of the ordered pair in the quadratic equation and solve for a
x=5, y=40



substitute

apply distributive property

see the attached figure to better understand the problem
25 anything raised to zero equals one
