Answer:

b = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

You probably already know the general equation from the my last couple of answer.

In this question, we have:

a=8

b= ?

c= -10 , c is the value of the foci

surprisingly, you can solve the value for a, b, and c using the same equation as the Pythagorean theorem.

c² = a² + b²

we need to solve for b so lets rearrange the equation.

b² = c² - a²

b = ±√(c² - a²)

b = ±√((-10)² - (8)²)

b = ±√(100 - 64)

b = ±√(36)

b = ±6

b = 6

Solve for u

Sergio039 [100]

U/9 = 8/12 u = 6

Step 1: Cancel the common factor (4)

u = 2
—- —-
9 3

Step 2: multiply both sides by 9

9u 2 * 9
—- = ——-
9 3

Step 3: simplify

2 *9 = 18

18 ÷ 3 = 6

u = 6
