The major axis of the eclipse is 12 units long
The given parameters can be represented as:
See attachment for illustration
To solve this question, we make use of the following theorem
The distance between a point and the foci sums up to the major axis
This translates to:
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
First, you have to align the like terms next to each other so that it will be easier to combine like terms. (Like terms have the same variables and powers)
Combine like terms:
(When combining like terms all you have to do is add/subtract the coefficients, number in front of variables, and leave the variable and exponents)
So, we get
Answer:
17.3
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this equation, you need to use the pythagorean theorem which is:
a= length
b= height
c= hypotenuse
First, substitute in your values for the equation:
Then, use the squares in the equation:
Then, subtract 100 from both sides to isolate b:
Finally, square root both sides to get your answer:
Then round to the nearest tenth which gives you 17.3.
