You just need to plug those expressions inside the formula: it doesn't matter if they're expressions involving a variable instead of plain numbers: the formula becomes
If you want, you can simplify it by expanding the square and then multiply the two parenthesis:
The standard form of a parabola is y=ax²+bx+c
use the three given points to find the three unknown constants a, b, and c:
-2=a+b+c............1
-2=4a+2b+c......... 2
-4=9a+3b+c...........3
equation 2 minus equation 1: 3a+b=0..........4
equation 3 minus equation 2: 5a+b=-2.........5
equation 5 minus equation 4: 2a=-2, so a=-1
plug a=-1 in equation 4: -3+b=0, so b=3
Plug a=-1, b=3 in equation 1: -2=-1+3+c, so c=-4
the parabola is y=-x²+3x-4
double check: when x=1, y=-1+3-4=-2
when x=2, y=-4+6-4=-2
when x=3, y=-9+9-4=-4
Yes.

Answer:
26.376 because the circumference formula is 2*3.14*radius so the radius of the goal would be 9 because radius is half of diameter which is 18 so 2*3.14*9=56.52 and the basketball's radius would be 4.8 and then 2*3.14*4.8 is 30.144 so the answer is 26.376 hope it helps
