He measured the height of the box to be 8 in. Then, Stephan drew a line from the center of one of the hexagons to each of its vertices and noticed that all the triangles he created have a height of 9 in and a base of 10 in. What is the surface area of the hexagonal prism?

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:

but there’s no any figure there!
