Using the given values from the problem and the illustration, three points are known which are (0,0), (6.5,-31), (-6.5,-31). The first step in solving this problem is to determine the equation of the parabola.
y = ax²
-31 = a(6.5)²
-31 = 42.25a
a = -31/42.25
a = -124/169
Therefore, the equation of the parabola is y = (-124/169)x². The value 4.5 is then substituted in the equation as x to get the answer which is 16.14 meters.
Y= 4/3x -1 use y2-y1 over x2-x1
Answer: 7.5"
Step-by-step explanation:
First, take away the extra 5" on the longer side lengths
40-5-5=30
Then divide by 4 to get the width
30/4=7.5
This works because if you took the 7.5" and added back the 5 inches, it makes 12.5. Then add all 4 sides together, you get 40.
7.5+7.5+12.5+12.5=
-132 i think is the correct answer
