Anyone good at Geometry? Need help please. RT is a midsegment of △PQS.
If PQ=y+39 and RT=y+2, what is the value of y?

given : the shape of his satellite can be modeled by   where x and y are modeled in inches.

now,the given equation   is a equation of parabola.

here, coefficient of x is positive, hence the parabola opens rightwards.

on comparing this equation with standard equation , we get

in standard equation, coordinates of focus=(0,m)

thus for given equation coordinates of focus=(0,1.5)

step-by-step explanation:

df =

both have same length

1/4 is the answer if i recall correctly.
