The incorrect step in Talia's solution is the step 4 which is "step 4 is incorrect because it shows and incorrect substitution of slope value into the point-slope form". The correct steps are as follow:
step 1: choose a point on the line which is (2,5)
step 2: choose another point on the line which is (1,3)
Step 3: determine the slope which is m = rise / run. The line runs 1 unit and rises 2 units so the slope is m = 2/1
step 4: substitute point on the line (2,5) and the slope of the line such as:
y-y1 = m (x-x1)
y-5 = 2 (x-2)
This is the correct steps.
Let us consider the number of edges = x
we know that a triangle will have 3 edges and a square will have 4 edges. Using this details we can form an equation.
3x + 4x = 8484
7x = 8484
x = 8484/7
= 1212
Then
Number of square tiles = 1212/4
= 303
So there are 303 square tiles in the box. I hope the procedure is clear enough for your understanding. You can always use this method for solving similar problems.
Answer/step-by-step explanation
The soldier at point P lie on a parabola because he determined his position and distances from towns A and B through measurement of the difference in timing (phase) of radio signals received from the two towns.
This analysis of the signal time difference gives the difference in distance of the soldier at P, from the towns.
This process is known as hyperbolic navigation.
These distances of point P from towns A and B is estimated by the soldier at point P, by measuring the delay localizes the receiver to a hyperbolic line on a chart.
Two hyperbolic lines will be drawn by taking timing measurements from the
towns A and B .
Point P will be at the intersection of the lines.
These distances of point P(The soldier's positions) from town A and town B were determined using the timing of the signals received from the two towns, due to the fact that point P was on a certain hyperbola.
