Unfortunately the portion of the graph shown does not show the locations of points A and B, nor does it show sufficient parts of the curve.
Fortunately, to do part C, it is not necessary to use the graph of the function, nor the locations of points A & B, since we know that t=-1 at A.
The solution is as follows:
We know that the tangent line has the equation
l : 2x -5y -9 = 0 ...................(1)
and that the parametric equation is
x = t^3 -8t; y = t^2 ..............(2)
We can obtain the intersections of the tangent line (1) with the original curve (2) by substituting (2) in (1), giving
f(t) = 2*(t^3-8*t) -5*(t^2)-9 = 0
or on simplification,
f(t) = 2t^3 -5t^2 -16t -9 = 0 ....................(3) parametric equation of intersection points
Solution of which gives t=9/2 or t=-1.
Since t=-1 is the given tangent point, we conclude that t=9/2 is point B.
Translating into rectangular coordinates for t=9/2, we get
x=t^3-8t=(9/2)^3-8(9/2)= 441/8 = 55.125
y=t^2=(9/2)^2= 81/4 = 20.25
Therefore the coordinates of B:
t=9/2, or (55.125, 20.25)
Attached is the graphics of f(t), showing that t=-1 is a tangent line, and that the solutions are t=-1, or t=9/2.

Answer:
5 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Well two bags hold 250 cubic inches, which means one bag will hold 125 cubic inches.
Then you cube route 125 because its cubic inches.
= 5
So I would think its five inches but I may be wrong <3
