Y=1/16x^2
multiplying both sides by 16 we get:
16y=x^2
The general form of a parabola is:
(x-h)^2=4p(y-k)
thus
4p=16
p=4
The parabola opens upwrd:
Focus: (h,k-p)
(0,0-4)
=(0,-4)
Directrix: y=-4
The Pythagorean theorem computed shows that the length of the guy wire, to the nearest foot, is 207 ft.
<h3>How to solve the length?</h3>
Here, we have two similar right triangles, ΔABE and ΔCDE.
CD = 11 ft
DE = 2 ft
BD = 35 ft
First, find AB:
AB/11 = (35 + 2)/2
AB/11 = 37/2
Cross multiply
AB = (37 × 11)/2
AB = 203.5 ft
Then, apply Pythagorean Theorem to find AE:
AE = √(AB² + BE²)
AE = √(203.5² + 37²)
AE = 207 ft
Therefore, the length of the guy wire is 207 ft.
