A diagonal connects a vertex to another vertex without being a side of the polygon. There are 14 vertices in a 14-gon. This leaves 13 vertices left to connect to (since we cannot connect the vertex to itself). However, two of these vertices will form the sides of the 14-gon. This leaves us with 11 possible diagonals we can draw.

Answer:
4 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the whispering gallery is 15 feet high and 60 feet wide, it forms an ellipse with major axis along the width of the gallery and minor axis along the height of the gallery.
Using the equation of an ellipse with major axis along the x-axis, we have
x²/a² + y²/b² = 1 where a = midpoint of the width = 60/2 = 30 feet and b = 15 feet.
c² = a² - b² where c = focus of the ellipse.
So, c² = a² - b²
= 30² - 15²
= 900 - 225
= 675
c = ±√675 = ±25.98 feet
So, the coordinate of the focus is thus (0, ±c) = (0, ±25.98) and the coordinate of the vertex is (0, ±a) = (0, ±30)
So, the distance between the foci and the vertex is the distance from the wall at which each of them should be positioned at the foci.
So, d = a - c
= 30 ft - 25.98 ft
= 4.02 feet
≅ 4 feet
