The accompanying diagram shows a kite that has been secured to a stake in the ground with a 20- foot long string. The kite is located 12 feet from the ground directly over point x

2x=70  

x=70/2

x=35

thats the answer

step-by-step explanation:

answer: math isn’t just mysterious because the majority of us find it so difficult to understand – it’s also the basis of the universe, giving us clues to physical phenomena like the motion of gases in the atmosphere and the way that physical particles interact with each other amid all the possible variables in three-dimensional space.

the equation of the parabola is y2=12x

explanation:

the vertex is midway between the focus ad the directrix

so, the vertex is (0,0)

let p=(x,y) be a point on the parabola.

the distance of p from the directrix is equal to the distance from the focus.

x+3=√(x−3)2+(y−0)2

(x+3)2=(x−3)2+y2

x2+6x+9=x2−6x+9+y2

y2=12x
