Im thinking both shorter sides are 5cm, and the 2 longer sides are 8cm each... add them all together and you get 26cm
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
What was the answer to this? I am working on the same problem
Using the given values from the problem and the illustration, three points are known which are (0,0), (6.5,-31), (-6.5,-31). The first step in solving this problem is to determine the equation of the parabola.
y = ax²
-31 = a(6.5)²
-31 = 42.25a
a = -31/42.25
a = -124/169
Therefore, the equation of the parabola is y = (-124/169)x². The value 4.5 is then substituted in the equation as x to get the answer which is 16.14 meters.
