Answer:

12.5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation for the cross section of a parabolic satellite TV dish:

y=1/50x^2

Equation of a parabola :

(y - k) = 1/4p * (x - h)^2

Distance of the focus from the Vertex = p

Comparing both equations :

1/4p * (x - h)^2 = 1/50 * x^2

4p = 50

Divide both sides by 4

4p/4 = 50/4

p = 12.5 inches

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram shows that the one triangle can be divided into two equal right triangles.  Because of this, you can use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve this problem.  a and b are the two sides of the angles, and c is the hypotenuse.

The given lengths are 5 as the hypotenuse and 3 as one length.  (You have 3 as a given length because the two triangles have a length of 6  on one side.  6/2 = 3)

a² + b² = c²

a² = c² - b²

a² = 5² - 3²

a² = 25² - 9²

a² = 16

a = 4
