How are the side lengths of a polygon and its perimeter related? Use examples to explain

The perimeter of a polygon or any shape is just the sum of all of its sides. If you are asked to find the perimeter of a polygon, you would simply just add all the sides together. For example, if a square has 4 sides with the length 2m, the perimeter of that square would be 2m + 2m + 2m + 2m = 8m. Perimeter just means add all the sides.

What is the equation of a parabola with a focus (-2,4) and directrix y = 0?
Ronch [10]
The general form of a parabola  when using the focus and directrix is:
(x - h)² = 4p(y - k) where (h, k) is the vertex of the parabola and 'p' is distance between vertex and the focus.  We use this form due to the fact we can see the parabola will open up based on the directrix being below the focus.  Remember that the parabola will hug the focus and run away from the directrix.  The formula would be slightly different if the parabola was opening either left or right.

Given a focus of (-2,4) and a directrix of y = 0, we can assume the vertex of the parabola is exactly half way in between the focus and the directrix.  The focus and vertex with be stacked one above the other, therefore the vertex will be (-2, 2) and the value of 'p' will be 2.  We can now write the equation of the parabola:
(x + 2)² = 4(2)(y - 2)
(x + 2)² = 8(y - 2)  Now you can solve this equation for y if you prefer solving for 'y' in terms of 'x'
