B. There are 15 blocks in this tower. I divided the total height (22.5 cm), by the height of each block (1.5 cm) and got 15 blocks

We must divide the total height by the size of the blocks to work out how many are in the tower
22.5 / 1.5 = 15 blocks

A building has an entry the shape of a parabolic arch 84 ft high and 42 ft wide at the base, as shown below. A parabola opening

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Because of the nature of the information we are given, we have no choice but to use the equation

$y=a(x-h)^2+k$

and solve for a.

We know by the info that the vertex is (0, 84). We also know that if the vertex is at the origin, and that the base is 42 feet wide, it spans 21 feet to the right of the origin and 21 feet to the left of the origin. That means that we have 2 coordinates from which we need to pick one for our x and y in the equation. I don't like negatives, so I am going to choose the coordinate (21, 0) as x and y. Because this parabola opens upside down, as archways of door openings do, our "a" value better come out algebraically as a negative. Let's see...From the vertex we have that h = 0 and k = 84. So filling in:

$0=a(21-0)^2+84$ and simplifying a bit:
