Answer:
169.5 yd²
Step-by-step explanation:
See attachment.
In situations like this, ALWAYS (!) make as sketch.
Divide the areas by adding dotted lines on sensible places, and write in the missing numbers for the correct distances.
The only possible difficult one is the triangle, which is the half of a rectangle. So you are dealing with a series of areas of rectangles. That is really easy if you understand what you are doing.
Total area =
area 1 + area 2 + area 3 + area 4
10*4 + 4*7 + 3*13 + (0.5 * 7*17)
40 + 28 + 42 + 59.5
Total area = 169.5 yd²

Answer:
The correct option is;
21 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of the parabolic arc is as follows;
y = a(x - h)² + k
Where the height is 25 ft and the span is 40 ft, the coordinates of the vertex (h, k) is then (20, 25)
We therefore have;
y = a(x - 20)² + 25
Whereby the parabola starts from the origin (0, 0), we have;
0 = a(0 - 20)² + 25
0 = 20²a + 25 → 0 = 400·a + 25
∴a = -25/400 = -1/16
The equation of the parabola is therefore;
To find the height 8 ft from the center, where the center is at x = 20 we have 8 ft from center = x = 20 - 8 = 12 or x = 20 + 8 = 28
Therefore, plugging the value of x = 12 or 28 in the equation for the parabola gives;
.
<em>x = 1</em>
<em><u>Here is why:</u></em>
Add x to both sides.
Add 5 to both sides.
Divide.
x = 1
