Answer:

34 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are told that:

If the room is 30 feet high at the center and 90 feet wide at the floor,

Entire width of the room = 90 feet = 2a

a = 90/2 = 45

Height of the room = b = 30 feet

Foci (c)² = a² - b²

c = √a² - b²

c = √45² - 30²

c = √1125

c = 33.541019662 feet

Approximately to the nearest whole number = 34 feet

Denise and Donna should each stand 34 ft from the outer wall so that they will be positioned at the foci of the ellipse
