Answer:

y = (1/12)x^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertex of this parabola is halfway between (0, 3) and the directrix, y = -3; that is, it's at (0, 0).

The applicable equation for this vertical parabola is 4py = x^2, where p is the distance between the vertex and the focus. Here that distance is p = 3.

Thus, 4py = x^2 becomes 4(3)y = x^2, or 12y = x^2, or y = (1/12)x^2.

Please any one help me

$\qquad\qquad\huge\underline{{\sf Answer}}♨$

Since it's a Trapezoid with its non - parallel sides equal to one another,

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:\angle A + \angle P = 180$

[ By forming co - interior angle pair ]

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:\angle A +100 = 180$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:\angle A = 180 - 100$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:\angle A = 80$

Now, similarly,

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \:\angle A + \angle R = 180$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \: \angle R + 80 = 180$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \: \angle R = 100$

Similarly,

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \angle K + \angle R = 180$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \angle K + 100 = 180$

$\qquad \sf \dashrightarrow \angle K = 80$

A cruise ship is traveling at a speed of 20 knots . A knot is approximately equal to 1.151 miles per hour. What is the approxima

Mrrafil [7]

1 mile = 1760 yards
20 * 1.151 = 23.02
23.02 * 1760 = 40,515.2
40,515.2 / 60 = 675.243~
675.243~ / 60 = 11.2542~
They are traveling 11.25 yards per second
I took the number of knots multiplied by the approximate miles per hour equal
Then multiplied that by the number of yards in a mile, and then divided that by the number of minutes in an hour, and divided that by the number of seconds in a minute. That is how I got the answer, I hope it helps!
