This is just simple. For example you have a plane of the form x=a, then you just substitute x with a, and you'll get an equation with y and z only, hence you have a 2-d trace of the intersection. It is just similar for y=b and z=c.
(1) At z=1.5, 2x^2 + 5y^2 + 1.5^2 = 4
2x^2 + 5y^2 = 1.75
Now you have an ellipse in the z=1.5 plane as your trace.
(2) At x=1, 2(1)^2 + 5y^2 + z^2 = 4
5y^2 + z^2 = 2
Now you have an ellipse in the x=1 plane as your trace.
(3) At z=0, 2x^2 + 5y^2 + (0)^2 = 4
2x^2 + 5y^2 = 4
Now you have an ellipse in the z=0 plane as your trace.
(4) At y=0, 2x^2 + 5(0)^2 + z^2 = 4
2x^2 + z^2 = 4
Now you have an ellipse in the y=0 plane as your trace.

I hope the answer will help you in the solution if you want any question no hesitation
B. 906 inches ! Gooooood luck lol

Convert km to m :
--------------------------------
13.15km = 13150m
--------------------------------
Compare :
--------------------------------
13150m > 1500m
13.15 km > 1500m
