<span>The most accurate answer is Sarah's with 8,494.84 cm2. While Kevin's answer is accurate if you're using 3.14 for pi, pi is an infinite number and does not end at the 2 decimals he used.</span>
Refer to the diagram shown below. It shows a vertical cross-section of the paraboloid through its axis of symmetry.
Let the vertex of the parabola be at the origin. Then its equation is of the form
y = bx²
Because the parabola passes through (18,8), therefore
8 = b(18²)
b = 0.02469
The parabola is y = 0.02469x².
The receiver should be placed at the focal point of the paraboloid for optimal reception.
The y-coordinate of the focus is
a = 1/(4b) = 1/0.098765 = 10.125 in
Answer: The receiver is located at 10.125 inches from the vertex.
Answer:
πr²/4
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of a circle if πr²
so Area of a quarter of a circle (or 1/4 of a circle) = πr²÷4
7 would be the the correct choice. Because it takes 8 minutes to wash each car, if you divide 56 by 8 you get 7.
