Answer:
Yes
Step-by-step explanation:
A rectangle can be scaled into a square + rhombus. The difficult part is a trapezoid. If you can scale the sides, then the answer will remain yes because you would just make the top side longer both ways to straighten it and shorten the side lines.

Answer:</h3>
f(x) = -(x -2)² +3
<h3>
Step-by-step explanation:</h3>
We can fill in the vertex (h, k) values immediately in the vertex form ...
... f(x) = a(x -h)² +k
To find the value of a, we solve the equation for a at some point other than the vertex. The given point is (0, -1), so we can use that:
... -1 = a(0 -2)² +3
... -4 = 4a . . . . . . . . . subtract 3, simplify
... -1 = a . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 4
Now, we know the function is ...
... f(x) = -(x -2)² +3
We can find the length of the ladder by squaring the known digits, adding them, and finding the square root of the sum. This would mean our first equation, after squaring, will look like this:
49+81=130
Now that we have <em>c</em> squared, we can go through and find the approximate square root, which is 11.4. That would mean the ladder is 11.4 meters long.
