Answer:

=11.35 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ladder, the flat surface the wall and the height up to the window form a trapezium.

The triangle that constitutes of the trapezium has the ladder as the hypotenuse, the distance between the two walls as base and the perpendicular distance from the base of the ladder to the window as height.

The height=20.35 ft-15 ft= 5.35 ft

Distance between the walls=10 ft

Hypotenuse²= base²+height²

H²=b²+h²

=10²+5.35²

=128.6225

H=√128.6225

=11.35 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

$volume = \pi {r}^{2}h$

$695 = 3.14 \times {r}^{2} \times 11.5$

${r}^{2} = 19.2$

$r = \sqrt{19.2} = 4.3$

Which equation represents a parabola opening to the left with a vertex at the origin and a focus at (-7, 0)?

madam [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

the standard equation,

$y^{2} = 4ax$ ---(1) , when opening towards left or right

focus at (a , 0)

$x^{2} = 4ay$ ---(2) , when opening towards top or bottom

focus at (0, a)

if a is negative parabola will open toward negative axes ( down or left) and vice versa.

re- arranging option b. we get

$y^{2} =28 x\\y^{2} = 4 X (-7 x)$ -----(3)

therefore, a = -7

(3) is similar to (1)

So it is facing left with focus at (-7,0)
