The distance from the vertex of a right cone or right pyramid to a point on the edge of the base can be determined using the Pythagorean theorem. This distance is the hypotenuse of a right triangle formed by the height of the cone or pyramid, the radius of the base (for a cone) or the apothem (for a pyramid), and the slant height as the hypotenuse. For a cone, the distance is calculated as (d = \sqrt{h^2 + r^2}), where (h) is the height and (r) is the radius. For a pyramid, the formula would involve the height and the apothem of the base.

What equation describes a parabola that opens left or right and whose vertex is at the point h v?

The equation of a parabola that opens left or right with its vertex at the point ((h, v)) is given by ((y - v)^2 = 4p(x - h)), where (p) is the distance from the vertex to the focus. If (p > 0), the parabola opens to the right, and if (p < 0), it opens to the left.

Is there a shape has more than 3 edges meeting at a vertex and has 1 right angled face?

No, a shape cannot have more than 3 edges meeting at a vertex and simultaneously have a right angled face. A right angled face implies that two edges form a right angle, which is only possible with three edges meeting at a vertex.

To find the value of a in a parabola opening up or down subtract the y-value of the parabola at the vertex from the y-value of the point on the parabola that is one unit to the right of the vertex.


Can the altitudes of a right triangle intersect in the interior of the triangle?

No. Only 2 altitudes can intersect at a point. * * * * * True but even they do not meet in the interior. The altitudes of a right angles triangle meet at the right angled vertex. The vertex is at the boundary of the triangle, not in the interior.


What is the vertex in a right angle?

Same as it is in any other angle ... the point where the sides of the angle join (or cross).
