The surface are of the shape is 251.5 units (sorry if that is wrong)
To find it, evaluate it at the endpoints and the vertex
in form
f(x)=ax²+bx+c
the x value of the vertex is -b/2a
given
c(t)=1t²-10t+76
x value of vertex is -(-10)/1=10
evaluate c(0) and c(13) and c(10)
c(0)=76
c(13)=115
c(10)=76
it reached minimum in 2000 and 2010
porbably teacher wants 2010
the min value is $76
For the answer to the question above asking to p<span>rove the Pythagorean Theorem using similar triangles. The Pythagorean Theorem states that in a right triangle,
</span>A right triangle consists of two sides called the legs and one side called the hypotenuse (c²) . The hypotenuse (c²)<span> is the longest side and is opposite the right angle.
</span>⇒ α² + β² = c²
<span>
"</span>In any right triangle ( 90° angle) <span>, the sum of the squared lengths of the two legs is equal to the squared length of the hypotenuse."
</span>
For example: Find the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle if the lengths of the other two sides are 3 inches and 4 inches.
c2 = a2+ b2
c2 = 32+ 42
c2 = 9+16
c2 = 15
c = sqrt25
c=5
