The equation of the vertical parabola in vertex form is written as
Where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex and p is the focal distance.
The directrix of a parabola is a line which every point of the parabola is equally distant to this line and the focus of the parabola. The vertex is located between the focus and the directrix, therefore, the distance between the y-coordinate of the vertex and the directrix represents the focal distance.
Using this value for p and (3, 1) as the vertex, we have our equation
Answer:
20.833 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The light reflects off the mirror at the same angle that it hits it at. So the triangle formed by the beam and mirror is similar to the triangle formed by Kevin and the mirror.
Therefore, we can write and solve a proportion.
h / 10 = 6.25 / 3
h = 20.833
The beam is 20.833 feet tall.
