Assume the parabola is placed on a graph where the x-axis is the top of the dish.
The vertex is then at (0,-30) The x-intercepts or zeros are at (-30,0) and (30,0)
The equation of such parabola would be:
Plug in vertex to find value of 'a'
Now find the focus given that
Answer: the microphone should be placed 7.5 inches from vertex.
<span>So the question is what are three equivalent ratios for 4/3, 12/14 and 6/9. The simplest way to get the equivalent ratio of some other ratio is to either multiply the nominator and the denominator by the same number or to divide the nominator and the denominator with the same number. I need to point out that it's not always possible to divide them and get a whole number. First: (4/3)*(2/2)=8/6, (4/3)*(3/3)=12/9 and (4/3)*(4/4)=16/12. Second: (12/14)/(2/2)=6/7, (12/14)*(2/2)=24/28 and (12/14)*(3/3)=36/42. Third: (6/9)/(3/3)=2/3, (6/9)*(2/2)=12/18 and finally (6/9)*(3/3)=18/27.</span>
Answer: The height is 6.07 meters
Step-by-step Explanation: The distance between the elevator and the bottom of the barn is given as 9 meters. Also for the hay elevator to move bales of hay to the second story of the barn lift it makes an angle of elevation of 34 degrees with the ground. With these we can derive a right angled triangle with the reference angle as 34 degrees, the side facing it which is the height or h (opposite) is yet unknown, and the side between the reference angle and the right angle (adjacent) is 9. We shall apply the trigonometric ratio as follows;
Tan 34 = opposite/adjacent
Tan 34 = h/9
0.6745 = h/9
0.6745 x 9 = h
6.0705 = h
Therefore the approximate height of the barn to the ground is 6.07 meters
