I don't see the picture what is it about?
Answer:
using Pythagoras rule, 16^2 -7^2 =a^2
so 256-49 = 297.
√207 =14.38 to the nearest tenth of an inch is 14inch.which is your answer
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
<u><em>The options of the question are</em></u>
2(x − 1)2 = 4
2(x − 1)2 = −4
2(x − 2)2 = 4
2(x − 2)2 = −4
we have

This is a vertical parabola open upward
The vertex represent the minimum value
The quadratic equation in vertex form is

where
a is a coefficient
(h,k) is the vertex
so
Convert the quadratic equation in vertex form
Factor 2 leading coefficient

Complete the squares


Rewrite as perfect squares

The vertex is the point (1,-4)
Move the constant to the right side

5 because it’s a double negative which offsets the answer to be positive 5
