that is right correct answer
Answer:
a = - , b = -
Step-by-step explanation:
To obtain the required form use the method of completing the square
add/ subtract ( half the coefficient of the x- term)² to x² - 9x
y = x² + 2(- )x + - + 14
= (x - )² - +
= (x - )²- ← in the form (x + a)² + b
with a = - and b = -
From a formula located here:

we see that
<span>4 • Side² = Long Diagonal² + Short Diagonal²
Long Diagonal = 24
Short Diagonal = 10
</span><span>4 • Side² = 24^2 + 10^2 </span>
<span>4 • Side² = 576 + 100
</span><span>4 • Side² = 676
</span><span><span>Side²</span> = 169
Side (or line AB) = 13
