The cross-section perpendicular to the base of a right rectangular prism is a rectangle.
<h3>What is a
three dimensional shape?</h3>
A shape or a solid that has three dimensions that is length, width and height is called a 3D shape. 3D shapes have faces, edges, and vertices. Examples are cylinder, cone, prism, pyramid.
A shape that has two dimensions is called a 2D shape. 2D shapes have breadth and length.

we can use pythagorean identieis
remember that 
also remember that
and 
so if we take
and divide both sides by
we get



subtracting
from both sides

now subsitute into original problem



the answer is -1
Answer:
The total length of the two cables is 
Step-by-step explanation:
see the attached figure to better understand the problem
we know that
In the right triangle ABD
Applying the Pythagoras Theorem

substitute the given values



Remember that
AB=AC ----> because ABC is an isosceles triangle
so
The total length of the two cables is equal to

A) by completing the square... X^2-8x+16+20-16 = (x^2-4)^2 +20-16=(x^2-4)+4
B) Since the coefficient of x^2 is positive, it is a quadratic function which increases positively. You know that it will always be above the x axis and therefore positive since the vertex is at (4,4) and increasing
