The correct answer is: [D]: " 7.2 units" .
_______________________________________________________
Explanation:
________________________________________________________
Use the Pythagorean theorem:
a² + b² = c² ;
in which: "6 units" and "4 units" equal the lengths of the right angle (formed by the rectangle); and "c" is the length of the diagonal of the rectangle, or the "hypotenuse", of the right triangle formed by the rectangle; We wish to solve for "c" ;
_______________________________________________
6² + 4² = c² ; Solve for "c" ;
↔ c² = 6² + 4² ;
= (6*6) + (4*4) ;
= 36 + 16 ;
= 52 ;
c² = 52 ;
Take the "positive square root" of each side of the equation; to isolate "c" on one side of the equation; and to solve for "c" ;
√(c²) = √52 ;
c = √52 ;
At this point, we know the 7² = 49 ; 8² = 64 ; so, the answer is somewhere between "7" and "8" ; yet closer to "7" ; so among the answer choices given;
The correct answer is: [D]: " 7.2 units" .

However, let use a calculator:
c = √52 = 7.2111025509279786 ; which rounds to "7.2" ;
which corresponds to:

Answer choice: [C]: " 7.2 units" .
___________________________________________
We know that
Any point <span>(x,y)</span> on the parabola is equidistant from the focus and the directrix
Therefore,
focus (0,4) and directrix of y=2
<span>√[<span>(x−0)</span></span>²+(y−4)²]=y−(2)
<span>√[x</span>²+(y-4)²]=y-2
x²+(y-4)²=(y-2)²
x²+y²-8y+16=y²-4y+4
x²=4y-12-----> 4y=x²+12----->y= (x²/4)+3
the answer is
y= (x²/4)+3
The reduced fraction that represents the sales attained is 17/20
<h3>How to determine the fraction?</h3>
The given parameters are:
Expected = $6000
Attained = $5100
The fraction is represented as:
Fraction = Attained/Expected
So, we have:
Fraction = 5100/6000
Divide by 300
Fraction = 17/20
Hence, the reduced fraction is 17/20
