A radio telescope has a parabolic surface. If it is 1m deep and 16m wide how far is the focus from the vertex?

1 answer:

6 0

Basing on the description, a parabola opening up with vertex at origin, the formula with vertex at origin is used, x^2 = 4py. p is the focus and so with the dimensions given, we obtain a 0.25 and that is the distance of the focus to the vertex.

A glass box shaped like a rectangular prism has width 7 inches, length 9 inches, and height 12 inches. It is being shipped in a

Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

744 in³

Step-by-step explanation:

Since you are filling the larger box with both rectangular prism and Styrofoam peanuts, you need to find the overall volume of the larger box and subtract the volume of the glass box to find the amount of space that the Styrofoam peanuts need to take up.

Volume (prism) = Bh, where B = area of the base, h = height

Larger Box: V = 10 x 10 x 15 = 1500 in³

Glass Box: V = 7 x 9 x 12 = 756 in³

1500 - 756 = 744 in³ of Styrofoam peanuts
