A parabola with an equation, y2 = 4ax has its vertex at the origin and opens to the right.
It's not just the '4' that is important, it's '4a' that matters.
This type of parabola has a directrix at x = -a, and a focus at (a, 0). By writing the equation as it is, the position of the directrix and focus are readily identifiable.
For example, y2 = 2.4x doesn't say a great deal. Re-writing the equation of the parabola as y2 = 4*(0.6)x tells us immediately that the directrix is at x = -0.6 and the focus is at (0.6, 0)

jeka94

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  9 ft, 22 ft, 23 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let s represent the length of the shortest side. Then the middle length side is (2s+4) and the longest side is (3s-4). The perimeter is the sum of the side lengths:

  54 = s +(2s +4) +(3s -4)

  54 = 6s . . . . . . . . . . . . . . collect terms

  9 = s . . . . . . . . . . divide by 6

  2s+4 = 2·9 +4 = 22

  3s -4 = 3·9 -4 = 23

The lengths of the three sides are 9 feet, 22 feet, and 23 feet.
