The standard equation of an ellipse is:

(x-h)²/a² + (y-k)²/b² = 1

Since the center at the origin, then h = k = 0

The height of this ellipse = 8 units and the width = 4 units, that means the major axis is b (=8) and the minor axis is a (=4)

Then the equation becomes:

x²/16 + y²/64 = 1

How long could the. Mural be if the length and height have to be whole numbers

mylen [45]

The height has to be 4, 5, or 6, so the width would be 15, 12, and 10 respectively.
4*15=60
5*12=60
6*10=60
These are the only whole numbers between 4 and 6, as whole numbers are non-decimal numbers greater than or equal to 0
