Statuary Hall is an elliptical room in the United States Capitol in Washington, D.C. The room is also called the Whispering Gall

ery because a person standing at one focus of the room can hear even a whisper spoken by a person standing at the other focus. The dimensions of Statuary Hall are 46 feet wide by 97 feet long. A) Find an equation that models the shape of the room.B) How far apart are the two foci?C) What is the area of the floor of the room?

Answer: a) \frac{x^{2} }{2352.25 } + \frac{y^{2} }{529} = 1

b) The distance of two foci is 85.4 feet

c) Area = 3502.67 square feet

Step-by-step explanation: a) An ellipse has the equation in the form of:

\frac{x^{2} }{a^{2} }+\frac{y^{2} }{b^{2} } = 1, where a is the horizontal axis and b is the vertical axis.

For the Statuary Hall, a = \frac{97}{2} = 48.5 and b = \frac{46}{2} = 23, so the equation will be

\frac{x^{2} }{2352.25 } + \frac{y^{2} }{529} = 1.

b) To determine the distance of the foci, we have to calculate 2c, where c is the distance between one focus and the center of the ellipse. To find c, as a, b and c create a triangle with a as hypotenuse:

a^{2} = b^{2} + c^{2}

c^{2} = a^{2} - b^{2}

c = \sqrt{48.5^{2} - 23^{2} }

c = 42.7

The distance is 2c, so 2·42.7 = 85.4 feet.

The two foci are 85.4 feet apart.

c)The area of an ellipse is given by:

A = a.b.π

A = 48.5 · 23 · 3.14

A = 3502.67 ft²

The area of the floor room is 3502.67ft².

You have two lines. Line A measures 12/16, and line B measures 3/4.
hram777 [196]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's compare the two values of 12/16 and 3/4.

Notice that 12/16 isn't a simplified fraction; both the numerator and denominator are divisible by 4. So divide the top and bottom by 4:

12 / 4 = 3

16 / 4 = 4

We are left with:

12/16 = 3/4

Now, we see that Line A and Line B are equal in length, so the answer is B.

Half the marbles in a bag are red, 1/6 of the marbles are blue, and the remaining 8 marbles are white how many total marbles are
Gemiola [76]

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

Let's represent the total number of marbles with the variable t. We have the following information.

1/2t+1/6t+8=t (1/2 of total are red, 1/6 of total are blue, 8 are white, add them up to get total)

Now, we solve for t.

1/2t+1/6t+8=t

We combine like terms.

2/3t+8=t

We subtract t from both sides.

-1/3t+8=0

We subtract 8 from both sides.

-1/3t=-8

We divide both sides by -1/3.

t=24

Therefore, there ae 24 total marbles in the bag.

Have a wonderful day! :D
