Step-by-step explanation:
10. The perimeter of any shape is the sum of the length of the sides, which means that the perimeter of this triangle is x+y+z.
11. Since this is a right triangle, the two legs form the height and base. The area of this triangle is therefore x*y/2.
12.
a. x=3, y=4, z=5
b.
c.

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the given parabolic mirror opens upwards and vertex=(0,0)
Focus point of the parabolic mirror is located 2 inches from the vertex of the mirror. ∴ p=2
Since, the parabola opens upward, then the equation of the parabola is of the form
Substitute the value of p=2 in this, we get the equation of the parabolic mirror
Hence, the equation of the parabola that models the cross section of the mirror is
