Answer: 18</h3>
==========================================================
Explanation:
2 cm on paper (or on screen) represents 3 meters in real life.
The backyard is 2 cm horizontally across on the screen, so it's 3 meters across in real life. This is the shorter dimension.
The longer dimension is 6 meters. We can think of it like this
2 cm : 3 meters
2*2 cm : 2*3 meters .... multiply both sides by 2
4 cm : 6 meters
The real backyard is 6 meters by 3 meters to give an area of 6*3 = 18 square meters.
An applicable equation of a vertical parabola in vertex form is:
y-k = a(x-h)^2
Let x=2, y=4, h=-1 and k=-1, where (h,k) is the vertex. Then,
4-(-1) = a(2-[-1])^2, which becomes 5 = a(9). Therefore, a = 5/9, and the
equation of the parabola is
y+1 = (5/9)(x+1)
False
-3 is not greater than positive 3
