Given:
square shape
Perimeter 28 feet
Find its area
A square has 4 equal sides, so perimeter is 4a
Perimeter = 4a
28 ft = 4 a
28 ft / 4 = a
7 = a
One side of the the square is 7 ft.
Area of a square is the measure of one side raised to the power of 2.
A = a²
A = (7 ft)²
A = 49 ft²
The first one is (-2,1)
The other one is 36
Answer:
y=-3/16(x-8)^2+12
Step-by-step explanation:
Refer to the vertex form equation for a parabola:
y=a(x-h)^2+k where (h,k) is the vertex.
Therefore, we have y=a(x-8)^2+12 as our equation so far. If we plug in (16,0) we can find a:
0=a(16-8)^2+12
0=64a+12
-12=64a
-12/64=a
-3/16=a
Therefore, your final equation is y=-3/16(x-8)^2+12
