Answer:

2.32 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

The cross section of the bottom of a circular pound has the shape of a parabola

Now,

For the circular parabola, the equation is given as:

y² = 4ax

here,

y is the depth

x is the horizontal distance from the center

a is the constant

also,

at diameter of the pond = 24 feet

and,

at x = 0 ; y = 8 feet

now,

the point 2 feet from the shore with respect to the center of the pond = radius of the pond - The distance from the shore

= \frac{\textup{24}}{\textup{2}} - 2 = 10 feet

thus,

at x = 10 feet ; y = 3 feet

thus,

we have

the equation as:

3² = 4a × 10

or

0.9 = 4a

or

a =  0.225

therefore,

we get the equation as;

y² = ( 4 × 0.225 ) × x

and, for point  6 feet away from the shore, i.e \frac{\textup{24}}{\textup{2}} - 6 = 6 feet away from the center

we have

y² = ( 4 × 0.225 ) × 6

or

y² = 5.4

or

y = 2.32 feet   (negative value is neglected as the depth cannot be negative)

Charlie is trying to cover the shape shown with paper. He will NOT be covering the top and the bottom. How much paper will he ne
DENIUS [597]

You need to determine how much paper you need to cover the lateral side of the cylinder shown in the picture. For this, you have to calculate the surface area of the cylinder, which you can do using the following formula:

A=2\pi rh

Where

A is the area

π is the number pi, for the calculations we usually use up to the first two decimal values of this number, 3.14

r is the radius

h is the height of the cylinder

The given cylinder has a height of h=15m and a diameter of d=6m

To calculate the lateral area you need to use the radius. The diameter is twice the radius, so to determine the radius of the cylinder you have to divide the diameter by 2

\begin{gathered} r=\frac{d}{2} \\ r=\frac{6}{2} \\ r=3 \end{gathered}

Now you can calculate the lateral area as follows:

\begin{gathered} A=2\pi rh \\ A=2\cdot3.14\cdot3\cdot15 \\ A=282.6m^2 \end{gathered}

Charlie will need 282.6 m² to cover the lateral side of the cylinder.

I need help with this. I'm stuck. PLEASE SAVE ME
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer: Its the one.

Step-by-step explanation:

Your going to subtract 2 from each sides making the equation, -5 is less than or equal to 25, then your gonna divide -5 by 25, which will give you -5, and then the sign will switch to greater than or equal to because you divided by a negative number. The dot on the number line will be solid because the sign is greater than or equal to. You're welcome :)

14. 260:5 = x:1
      260/5=x/1
      x = 52

      52/1 = y/9
      y = 468

I hope you understand the process.
