In short, for a vertical parabola, namely one whose independent variable is on the x-axis, usually is x², if the leading term coefficient is negative, the parabola opens downward, and its peak or vertex is at a maximum, check the picture below at the left-hand-side.

and when the leading term coefficient is positive, the parabola opens upwards, with a minimum, check the picture below at the right-hand-side.

Find the volume of the triangular prism
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

V = 5280 in^3

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume is found by

V = Bh  where B is the area of the base and h is the height

first we need to find the area of the base

The base is the triangle

We need to find the base dimension for the triangle

34^2 = 16^2 + b^2

34^2 -16^2 = b^2

900 = b^2

30 =b

B = 1/2 bh

  = 1/2 (30) *16

B =240

V = Bh

V = 240 * 22

V = 5280 in^3

stiks02 [169]
The area needed is at least 170.5 ft².

Let w  =  the width of the rectangular area.
Because the length is 15.5 ft, therefore the calculated area should be at least 170.5 ft². That is
(15.5 ft)*(w ft) ≥ 170.5 ft²
w ≥ 170.5/15.5
w ≥ 11 ft

Answer:  w ≥ 11 ft
