The vertex is the high point of the curve, (2, 1). The vertex form of the equation for a parabola is
.. y = a*(x -h)^2 +k . . . . . . . for vertex = (h, k)

Using the vertex coordinates we read from the graph, the equation is
.. y = a*(x -2)^2 +1

We need to find the value of "a". We can do that by using any (x, y) value that we know (other than the vertex), for example (1, 0).
.. 0 = a*(1 -2)^2 +1
.. 0 = a*1 +1
.. -1 = a

Now we know the equation is
.. y = -(x -2)^2 +1

_____
If we like, we can expand it to
.. y = -(x^2 -4x +4) +1
.. y = -x^2 +4x -3

=========
An alternative approach would be to make use of the zeros. You can read the x-intercepts from the graph as x=1 and x=3. Then you can write the equation as
.. y = a*(x -1)*(x -3)
Once again, you need to find the value of "a" using some other point on the graph. The vertex (x, y) = (2, 1) is one such point. Subsituting those values, we get
.. 1 = a*(2 -1)*(2 -3) = a*1*-1 = -a
.. -1 = a
Then the equation of the graph can be written as
.. y = -(x -1)(x -3)
In expanded form, this is
.. y = -(x^2 -4x +3)
.. y = -x^2 +4x -3 . . . . . . same as above

Please help me with these.

18. The perimeter is simply √3 + √3 + √3 + √3 or 4√3cm, since the perimeter is just all sides added together. You could add the decimal numbers together using a calculator, which I'm not sure if you're supposed to do in your class.

The area is just width times length, so √3 • √3 = 3cm².

19. The perimeter is 2√5 + 2(9 - √5).

This can also be written as 2√5 + 18 - 2√5, which leaves you with a perimeter of 18ft.

The area would be √5 • (9 - √5), which leaves you with (9√5 - 5)ft².

20. The formula for the perimeter (or circumference) of a circle is π times the diameter of the circle. Using the radius of the circle, 1/π, the diameter is 2/π, so

π • 2/π = 2. The circumference of the circle is 2 inches.

The area of the circle is calculated with the equation πr², so

π(1/π)² = π • 1/(π²) = π/(π²) = π. The area is simply π in².
