To answer this, we need to know the expression for the area of a square which is the square of its side length or:
Area = a²
Solving for the side length,
a = √area
a = √144x²
a = 12x
Therefore, the side length is 12x.
Answer:
Suppose the closest point is at p=(x0,y0), and set q=(−2,−3). Then the tangent to the parabola at p is perpendicular to ℓ, the line through p,q. and we end up numerically computing the roots from here.
I did the math and it said it was 60$
my mother has a degree in math and was top in her class
I asked her how to do it and she showed me how to, and I got 60$
sorry if its wrong
SOH,CAH, TOA so it would be TANGENT since it would be Opposite over Adjacent. Tan(15) = 9/a put Tan(15) onto your calculator it would be .267949 round that to .27 = 9/a cross multiply
a = 33.588. C is the correct answer.
