The perimeter of a triangle is 50 cm. The longest side is 5 cm more than twice the length of the shortest side. The other side is 3 cm more than the shortest side. Write and solve an equation to determine x, the length of the
shortest side of the triangle. Then state the dimensions (side lengths) of the triangle.

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)
