The area of a postage stamp would be measured in cm2. (:
Answer:
10 units
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>General equation of an ellipse</u>
<u>Major Axis</u>: longest diameter of an ellipse
<u>Minor Axis</u>: shortest diameter of an ellipse
<u>Major radius</u>: one half of the major axis
<u>Minor radius</u>: one half of the minor axis
If a > b the ellipse is horizontal, a is the major radius, and b is the minor radius.
If b > a the ellipse is vertical and b is the major radius, and a is the minor radius.
Given equation:
Comparing with the general equation:
- h = 0
- a² = 9 ⇒ a = 3
- k = 4
- b² = 25 ⇒ b = 5
As b > a then the ellipse is vertical and b is the major radius.
⇒ Major axis = 2 × Major Radius
= 2b
= 2 × 5
= 10
Also, the vertices are:
- (3, 4) and (-3 ,4)
- (0, 9) and (0, -1)
