Answer:

y=-\frac{1}{100}(x-50)^2+25

the height of the arch 10 feet from the center is 24 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

An arch is in the shape of a parabola. It has a span of 100 feet, the vertex lies at the center 50 and the maximum height of 25 ft.

Vertex at (50,25)

vertex form of the equation is

y=a(x-h)^2+k, (h,k) is the center

y=a(x-50)^2+25

the parabola starts at (0,0) that is (x,y)

0=a(0-50)^2+25

subtract 25 from both sides

-25=a(-50)^2

-25=a(2500)

divide both sides by 2500

a=-\frac{1}{100}

y=-\frac{1}{100}(x-50)^2+25

the height of the arch 10 feet from the center.

center is at 50, 10 feet from the center so x=40 and x=60

y=-\frac{1}{100}(40-50)^2+25

y=24

the height of the arch 10 feet from the center is 24 feet

Suppose an isosceles triangle abc has a=pi/4 and b=c=4. What is the length of a^2?
Zanzabum

The law of cosines states that, if \alpha is the angle between sides b and c,

a^2 = b^2+c^2-2bc\cos(\alpha)

So, plugging our values, we have

a^2 = 16+16-2\cdot 4\cdot 4\cdot\cos\left(\dfrac{\pi}{4}\right)

This is equal to

a^2 = 32-32\cdot\dfrac{\sqrt{2}}{2} = 32-16\sqrt{2}

the first box is divide/ multiply the second is height/base and the third is divide/multiply the fourth is the base/ 2 / the ar
jeka94
-DIVIDE- the area of a triangle by the -BASE-
, and -MULTIPLY- the result by -2-

Explanation:
Thats because the formula for the area of a triangle is 1/2 x base x height OR (much not confusing formula) BASE x HEIGHT divided by 2
