Question

Find the length of the semi-major axis of the ellipse x^2/49+y^2/36=1

Answer 1

The length of the semi-major axis of the ellipse is 7.

What is the semi-major axis of an ellipse?

The semi-major axis of an ellipse is the half of the longest diameter passing through its vertex and focus.

The general equation of an ellipse is :

⇒ x²/a²+y²/b²=1, where a is the semi-major axis and b, is the semi-minor axis

x²/49+y²/36=1

x²/(7²)+y²/(6²)=1

x²/a²+y²/b²=1

a=7
