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
Answer:
Dasha has 52 roses
Step-by-step explanation:
Rewrite the first sentence in an equation: (D= Dasha) (A= Anna)
D=4A
Rewrite the second sentence in an equation:
A+39=D
1) Substitute A+39 as D in the first equation:
A+39=4A
2) Subtract A from both sides:
3A=39
3) Divide both sides by 3:
A=13
4) Now substitute 13 as A in the second equation:
13+39=D
5) Solve:
D=52

Find x
To do this, we have:
--- similar triangles
So, we have the following equivalent ratios

Where:

Substitute these in the above equation


Express as fraction

Factorize

Factor out x + 284

Split

Solve for x

x can't be negative;
So:

= -x^2 - (3x - 12x^2 + 7x ) - (2 - 2x - 2)
= -x^2 - 3x + 12x^2 - 7x - 2 + 2x + 2
= 11x^2 - 8x
Answer
11x^2 - 8x
