Answer:

The equation of ellipse is

\frac{x^2}{41}+\frac{y^2}{16}=1

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of an ellipse is

\frac{(x-h)^2}{a^2}+\frac{(y-k)^2}{b^2}=1

where(h,k) is the center and c is distance from the center to the foci is given by a^2-b^2=c^2. a is the distance from the center to the vertices and b is the distance from the center to the co-vertices.

The center of the ellipse is the mid-point of the vertices.

The mid point of the vertices (\pm\sqrt{41},0) is

=(\frac{\sqrt{41}+(-\sqr{41})}2,\frac{0+0}2)

=(0,0)

a is the distance between the center and the vertices.

So, a=\sqrt{(0-\sqrt{41})^2+(0-0)^2}

        =\sqrt{41}

c is the distance between the center and the foci.

So, c=\sqrt{(0-5)^2+(0-0)^2

         =5

a^2-b^2=c^2

\Rightarrow (\sqrt41)^2-b^2=5^2

\Rightarrow b^2=(\sqrt41)^2- 5^2

\Rightarrow b^2=41-25

\Rightarrow b^2=16

The equation of ellipse is

\frac{(x-0)^2}{(\sqrt{41})^2}+\frac{(y-0)^2}{16}=1

\Rightarrow \frac{x^2}{41}+\frac{y^2}{16}=1

joe and Bill are working on building a stone wall that will be 120 feet long. Joe works from one end and is able to build one te
konstantin123 [22]

Joe completes an average of (10 ft)/(5 h) = 2 ft/hour. Bill completes an average of (10 ft)/(4 h) = 2.5 ft/hour. Together, they complete 2+2.5 = 4.5 ft/hour. At that rate, it will take them

... (120 ft)/(4.5 ft/h) = 26 2/3 h

Figure B is a scaled copy of Figure A.
elixir [45]

Answer:

The scale factor would be 1/2.

Step-by-step explanation:

2 of the sides both are 4 units.

If you go to figure B, it got smaller.

So in this case, you would divide.

On figure B, 2 of the sides are 2 units.

If you did it in reverse, you would get 2 because 2 times 2 is 4.

But we divide, so 4/2 is 2, so the scale factor would be:

1/2

Hope this helped!

A wall is 20 feet long and requires 1,470 bricks to build. How high is the wall?
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer: The height of wall is 10.5 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of bricks to build = 1470

Length of wall = 20 feet

We need to find the height of wall.

As we know that

Bricklayer's formula is given by

N=7LH\\\\1470=7\times 20\times H\\\\1470=140\times H\\\\\dfrac{1470}{140}=H\\\\10.5\ ft=H

Hence, the height of wall is 10.5 feet.
