The perimeter of the original triangle is 48 inches. what is the perimeter of the reduced triangle? ((the answer that i put in is incorrect, but i want to know the right answer & how to solve it))

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:

y/x of point b= y/x of point a

step-by-step explanation:

(i got the same question, this was the correct answer.)
