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

On Monday, it snowed 30 inches in 16 hours. On Thursday, it snowed 21 inches in 6 hours. On which day did it snow at a greater r
nevsk [136]

Answer: Thursday

Step-by-step explanation:

I think this answer is correct because, On Monday it says it snowed 30 inches for 16 hours, so we divide 30 by  16 and we get 1.875. But for Thursday it snowed 21 for 6 hours, so we divide 21 by 6 and that equals 3.5. So on Monday it snowed 1.875 snow per hour and Thursday it snowed 3.5 snow per hour. So the answer is Thursay!

Hope This Helps!
