<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
The ellipse is vertical so y has the biggest radius.
Major axis (y) = 20 so the y-radius is 20/2 = 10
Minor axis (x) = 14 so the x-radius is 14/2 = 7
The equation of an ellipse is: where
- (h, k) is the center of the ellipse
- a is the x-radius
- b is the y-radius
Given: a = 7, b = 10
Assume: (h, k) = (0, 0)
