» Gina is building a rectangular prism out
of sugar cubes for her art class project.
She started by drawing a diagram of the
rectangular prism that is 4 cubes high
and 4 cubes wide. How many cubes does
she use to make the prism? Solve this
problem any way you choose.

a triangular prism is a 3 dimensional shape composed of triangles and rectangles. it is made from two triangular bases and three rectangular sides.  

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)
