Well I figured it out and I came up with 13 square inches. you can find this out by doing the square root of 169. I hope this help :).
Are you sure you wrote the equation right? Because I got 5/3 which equals 1.6666...7
Answer:
The equation of the parabolic function is :

Step-by-step explanation:
The standard equation of a parabola is given by:

where
represents the vertex of the parabola.
From the graph shown in figure we can find the vertex of the parabola which is the minimum point of parabola and lies st point 
So, we can say:

Plugging in the values of vertex in standard equation of parabola,

Simplifying the equation:

We can find value of
by plugging in a point from the graph.
Using point (0,-2) which lies on graph.
Plugging in the given point.


Adding 3 to both sides.


∴ 
Plugging in
, the equation of parabola can be written as:
