Earth orbits the sun in an elliptical pattern. The equation of Earth's path is.... where the measurements represent millions of

kilometers. The sun is located at the focus whose coordinate is (0,0). In January, Earth is located at one of the vertices, which is 147 million kilometers from the sun. Determine Earth's distance from the sun in July.

General equation of Ellipse centered at (h,k) is given as

\frac{(x-h)^{2}}{a^{2}} + \frac{(y-k)^{2}}{b^{2}} =1\\

where a is the radius along x-axis

and b is radius along y-axis.

Given : The equation of elliptical path of Earth as

\frac{(x+2.5)^{2}}{22350.25} + \frac{y^{2}}{22344} = 1\\

Comparing the equation with the general equation, we get

(h,k) as (-2.5,0)

a = \sqrt{22350.25} = 149.5

b = \sqrt{22344} = 149.48

We have the Sun located at the coordinate (0,0).

Hence, the distance between Sun and Earth in July = 149.5 + 2.5 =152

∴ Earth's distance from the Sun in July is 152 million kilometers.

2x + 31 = 5

2x = 5 - 31

2x = -26

x = -26/2

x = -13.

Laketown had 215 inches of snowfall last year, but only 155 inches this year. What was the percent decrease in snowfall for Lake
skelet666 [1.2K]
Okay, so FIRST you would subtract 215 - 155, which is 60, and THEN divide it by 215, so 60 divided by 215 = 0.27, and rounded that is 0.28, then you move the decimal two places to the right to make it a percentage so your answer would be A., 28%
