Answer: 12 inches

Step-by-step explanation: In this problem, since we're asked to find the length of the median, let's use our formula for the area of a trapezoid that involves the median which is shown below.

Area = median · height

We know that the area is 144 and the height is 9 so we can set up the equation 144 = M · 12. Now to solve for <em>m</em>, we divide both sides of the equation by 12 and we find that 12 = M.

So the length of the median of the trapezoid is 12 inches.

A satellite dish has cross-sections shaped like parabolas. The receiver is located 13 inches from the base along the axis of sym

horsena [70]

Answer:

Depth = 3.3 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the shape of the satellite looks like a parabola

The equation of parabola is given as follows

$x^2=4\times a\times y$

Where

a= 13

Therefore

$x^2=4\times 13\times y$

$x^2=52\times y$

Lets take (13 , y) is a

Now by putting the values in the above equation we get

$13^2=52\times y$

$y=\dfrac{13^2}{52}=3.25$

y=3.25 in

Therefore the depth of the satellite at the nearest integer will be 3.3 inches.

Depth = 3.3 inches
