Because ABCD is a rectangle, the length of CD is 12 cm.

We need to determine the length of DE.  If we can do that, then the sum of the lengths of CD and DE represents the unknown:  the length of CE.

To find the length of CE, we have to "solve" the upper triangle.

Here's an outline of what to do:

1.  Show that BC=AD and find the length.
2.  Note that angle CAD is 60 degrees.  Why?
3.  Note that angle EAD is 30 degrees.  Why?
4.  Find the length of ED
5.  Add ED and DC, that is, ED + 12 cm.  This is your answer.

Please ask questions if need be.

A parabola can be drawn given a focus of (5, -3) and a directrix of y=1. Write the equation of the parabola in any form.
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

(x²-10x+33)/(-8) = y

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance between any point on a parabola from both its focus and directrix are the same.

Let's say we have a point (x,y) on the parabola. We can then say that using the distance formula,

\sqrt{(x-5)^2+(y-(-3))^2}is the distance between (x,y) and the focus. Similarly, the distance between (x,y) and the directrix is |y-1| (I use absolute value here because distance is always positive). We can find this equation by taking the shortest distance from the point to the line. Because the closest point to the line will be the same x value as the point itself, the distance is simply the distance between the y value of the point and the y value of the directrix.

Equating the two equations given, we have

\sqrt{(x-5)^2+(y-(-3))^2} = |y-1|

square both sides to get

(x-5)²+(y+3)²=(y-1)²

expand the y components

(x-5)² + y²+6y+9 = y²-2y+1

subtract y²+6y+9 from both sides

(x-5)² = -8y - 8

expand the x components

x²-10x+25 = -8y - 8

add 8 to both sides to isolate the -8y

x²-10x+33 = -8y

divide both sides by -8 to isolate y

(x²-10x+33)/(-8) = y

Plz help!!! Missing length of right triangles
Elis [28]
It looks like it’s Pythagorean theorem.
a^2 + b^2 =c^2
60^2+11^2=c^2
3,600+121=c^2
3,721=c^2
The square root of 3,721 is 61
So the answer should be 61

sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

10.5 percents

Step-by-step explanation:

1)100+30=130 percents;

2) 130/100*15=19.5percents of discount from the first price

3) 130-19.5=110.5 percents- new price from the initial price

4)110.5-100=10.5 percents - the percentage of profit
