Answer:

  4 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a parabola with its vertex at the origin can be written as ...

  y = 1/(4p)x^2

The problem statement tells us that one point on the parabola is (x, y) = (12, 9). We can put these values into the equation and solve for p, the distance from the focus to the vertex.

  9 = 1/(4p)(12^2)

  9×4/144 = 1/p = 1/4 . . . . . . . . multiply by the inverse of the coefficient of 1/p

Then p = 4, and the bulb is 4 cm from the vertex.

mixas84 [53]
This is a right triangle so the total angle is 90 degrees.
90 degrees - 20 degrees = 70 degrees, so 2x = 70
2x/2= 70/2
X= 35
