A parabola is defined as the set of points the same distance from \((6,2)\) and the line \(y=4\). Select all points that are on this parabola.

• (1,-2)

• (2,-1)

• (6,2)

• (7,3)

• (8,2)

Compare and contrast the parabolas with these definitions. parabola A: points that are the same distance from \((0,4)\) and the \(x\)-axis parabola B: points that are the same distance from \((0,\text-6)\) and the \(x\)-axis

The density of water is 1 gram per cm3. An object floats in water if its density is less than water’s density, and it sinks if its density is greater than water’s. Will a solid bar of soap shaped like a rectangular prism with mass 1.048 kilograms and dimensions 5.6 centimeters, 13 centimeters, and 16 centimeters float or sink? Explain your reasoning.

Jada has this idea for bisecting angle \(ABC\). First she draws a circle with center \(B\) through \(A\). Then she constructs the perpendicular bisector of \(AD\). Does Jada's construction work? Explain your reasoning. You may assume that the perpendicular bisector of line segment \(AD\) is the set of points equidistant from \(A\) and \(D\).
