Let y = the distance between the top left corner and the bottom right corner
y^2 = 24^2 + 15^2
y^2 = 801
y = 3 * sqrt(89)
Now we can find x.
12^2 + x^2 = (3 * sqrt(89))^2
x^2 = 657
x = 3 * sqrt(73) or 25.63

Using graph tools we can graph the function:

which is the red graph shown below. As you can see, this is a parabola. The rule for vertical and horizontal shifts is as follows:


Therefore, If we shift the red graph 9 units to the right and 1 down, our new function (let's call it
) will be:

This graph is the blue graph below. Let's verify the transformation taking the vertex of the red graph:

By translating the 9 units to the right and 1 down the vertex is also translated by the same rule, so:
