8 0

Answer:

this is a pythagorean theorem problem. 24 is the whole ladder, and if you draw it out, is a hypotenuse. 8 is a leg. . so 8^2 + b^2 = 24^2

b^2 = 512, so b = sqrt(512) = 22.6

il63 [147K]

Answer:

y = -0.005x² + 50

Step-by-step explanation:

The diameter is 200 feet, so the parabola has roots at (-100, 0) and (100, 0).  The maximum height is 50, so the vertex of the parabola is at (0, 50).

Using vertex form of a parabola:

y = a (x − h)² + k

y = a (x − 0)² + 50

y = ax² + 50

Plugging in either root:

0 = a (100)² + 50

a = -0.005

y = -0.005x² + 50
