Answer:

The equation for an ellipse centered at the origin with foci at (-3, 0) and (+3, 0) and co-vertices at (0, -4) and (0, +4) is:

\frac{x^{2}}{7} + \frac{y_{2}}{16} = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

An ellipse center at origin is modelled after the following expression:

\frac{x^{2}}{a^{2}} + \frac{y^{2}}{b^{2}} = 1

Where:

a, b - Major and minor semi-axes, dimensionless.

The location of the two co-vertices are (0, - 4) and (0, + 4). The distance of the major semi-axis is found by means of the Pythagorean Theorem:

2\cdot b = \sqrt{(0-0)^{2}+ [4 - (-4)]^{2}}

2\cdot b = \pm 8

b = \pm 4

The length of the major semi-axes can be calculated by knowing the distance between center and any focus (c) and the major semi-axis. First, the distance between center and any focus is determined by means of the Pythagorean Theorem:

2\cdot c = \sqrt{[3 - (-3)]^{2}+ (0-0)^{2}}

2\cdot c = \pm 6

c = \pm 3

Now, the length of the minor semi-axis is given by the following Pythagorean identity:

a = \sqrt{b^{2}-c^{2}}

a = \sqrt{4^{2}-3^{2}}

a = \pm \sqrt{7}

The equation for an ellipse centered at the origin with foci at (-3, 0) and (+3, 0) and co-vertices at (0, -4) and (0, +4) is:

\frac{x^{2}}{7} + \frac{y_{2}}{16} = 1

Rectangle

l = 7.2 - 1.7 = 5.5 ft            b = 3.4 ft

Semicircle

r = 1.7 ft

Shaded region = area of rectangle + area of semicircle

= l x b + πr²/2

= 5.5 x 3.4 + 3.14 x 1.7 x 1.7 x 1/2

= 18.7 + 4.5373

= 23.2373 ft²

ankoles [38]

Answer:

pizzeria1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

pizzeria1

Diameter=16in

Radius= 16/2= 8in

Area= πr^2

Area= 3.132*8^2

Area= 201.09 in^2

pizzeria2

Diameter=15in

Radius= 15/2= 7.5in

Area= πr^2

Area= 3.132*7.5^2

Area= 176.74n^2
