Answer:

Area of the fabric = 175 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a trapezoid = (b1 + b2)/2 * h

Where,

b1 = 16 inches

b2 = 9 inches

h = 14 inches

Area of a trapezoid = (b1 + b2)/2 * h

= (16 + 9)/2 * 14

= 25/2 * 14

= 12.5 * 14

= 175 square inches

Area of the fabric = 175 square inches

A parabola can be drawn given a focus of (-11, -2) and a directrix of x= -3

fgiga [73]

Check the picture below, so the parabola looks more or less like that.

now, the vertex is half-way between the focus point and the directrix, so that puts it where you see it in the picture, and the horizontal parabola is opening to the left-hand-side, meaning that the distance "P" is negative.

$\textit{horizontal parabola vertex form with focus point distance} \\\\ 4p(x- h)=(y- k)^2 \qquad \begin{cases} \stackrel{vertex}{(h,k)}\qquad \stackrel{focus~point}{(h+p,k)}\qquad \stackrel{directrix}{x=h-p}\\\\ p=\textit{distance from vertex to }\\ \qquad \textit{ focus or directrix}\\\\ \stackrel{"p"~is~negative}{op ens~\supset}\qquad \stackrel{"p"~is~positive}{op ens~\subset} \end{cases} \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}$

$\begin{cases} h=-7\\ k=-2\\ p=-4 \end{cases}\implies 4(-4)[x-(-7)]~~ = ~~[y-(-2)]^2 \\\\\\ -16(x+7)=(y+2)^2\implies x+7=-\cfrac{(y+2)^2}{16}\implies x=-\cfrac{1}{16}(y+2)^2-7$
