Answer:

The correct option is;

21 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the parabolic arc is as follows;

y = a(x - h)² + k

Where the height is 25 ft and the span is 40 ft, the coordinates of the vertex (h, k) is then (20, 25)

We therefore have;

y = a(x - 20)² + 25

Whereby the parabola starts from the origin (0, 0), we have;

0 = a(0 - 20)² + 25

0 = 20²a + 25 → 0 = 400·a + 25

∴a = -25/400 = -1/16

The equation of the parabola is therefore;

y = (-\frac{1}{16})(x-20)^2 + 25

To find the height 8 ft from the center, where the center is at x = 20 we have 8 ft from center = x = 20 - 8 = 12 or x = 20 + 8 = 28

Therefore, plugging the value of x = 12 or 28 in the equation for the parabola gives;

y = (-\frac{1}{16})(12-20)^2 + 25 = (-\frac{1}{16})(-8)^2 + 25 = 21 \ ft.

Use the Distributive Property to expand 9(3 + x).
tankabanditka [31]
Distribute the 9 to each term in the parentheses with multiplication.

9(3 + x) = 27 + x

But this is usually written as x + 27

What is the measure of DE?
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright, lets get started.

The two chords are intersection each other at point B.

DBE=ABC

Both are opposite angles that is 39 degrees.

Angle ABC forms the arc AC which is given 41 degree.

The arc DE will be same length as arc AC because angle ABC and angle DBE are same that is 39 degrees.

So, arc DE = 41

So, the answer is DE = 41 degrees ....   Answer : option D

Hope it will help :)
