FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT ACTIVITY 1

Solve the following problems. You’ll be graded based on the given rubrics.

1. A satellite dish has a shape called a paraboloid, where each cross-section is a parabola. Since radio signals (parallel to the axis) will bounce off the surface of the dish to
the focus, the receiver should be placed at the focus. How far should the receiver be from the vertex, if the dish is 12 ft across, and 4.5 ft deep at the vertex?

2. A tunnel has the shape of a semi-ellipse that is 15 ft high at the center, and 36 ft across at the base. At most how high should a passing truck be, if it is 12 ft wide, for
it to be able to fit through the tunnel? Round off your answer to two decimal places.
