Answer:
Depth = 3.3 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the shape of the satellite looks like a parabola
The equation of parabola is given as follows
[tex]x^2=4\times a\times y[/tex]
Where
a= 13
Therefore
[tex]x^2=4\times 13\times y[/tex]
[tex]x^2=52\times y[/tex]
Lets take (13 , y) is a
Now by putting the values in the above equation we get
[tex]13^2=52\times y[/tex]
[tex]y=\dfrac{13^2}{52}=3.25[/tex]
y=3.25 in
Therefore the depth of the satellite at the nearest integer will be 3.3 inches.
Depth = 3.3 inches
