The width of the TV is 27.9 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Diagonal of TV = 32 inch

Height of TV = 15.7 inch

The diagonal makes the TV into a right triangle,

Therefore,

Diagonal = hypotenuse = c = 32 inch

Height = perpendicular = a = 15.7 inch

Width = base = b

Using pythagoras theorem

$a^2+b^2=c^2\\(15.7)^2+b^2=(32)^2\\246.49+b^2=1024\\b^2=1024-246.49\\b^2=777.51$

Taking square root on both sides

$\sqrt{b^2}=\sqrt{777.51}\\b=27.88$

Rounding off to nearest tenth

b = 27.9 inches

The width of the TV is 27.9 inches

The Animal World Safari Park is a rectangular piece of land with an area of 323 square miles. The length of the park is 17 miles

Charra [1.4K]

The area of a rectangle is A = L * W. We have the area as 323 and the length as 17. Filling in our formula for area then, 323 = 17W. Divide both sides by 17 to solve for the width. W = 19

What is the equation of the following graph?

nignag [31]

Answer:

${y}^{2} = 24x$

Step-by-step explanation:

This is horizontal parabola.

It has a directrix at x=-6.

The vertex is (0,0).

The focus is (6,0)

The equation of this parabola is of the form

${y}^{2} = 4px$

Where (p,0) is the focus

By comparison, p=6

Therefore the equation of the parabola is

${y}^{2} = 4 \times 6x$

This implies that

${y}^{2} =2 4 x$
