Answer:

\frac{x^2}{55000^2} - \frac{y^2}{59464^2} =1

Step-by-step explanation:

the transverse axis is horizontal.

so its a horizontal hyperbola

Center is the origin so center is (0,0)

Equation of horizontal hyperbola is

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

Given a= 55000 and c= 81000

c^2 = a^2 + b^2

81000^2 = 55000^2 + b^2

subtract 55000^2 on both sides

b  = sqrt(81000^2 - 55000^2)= 59464.27

now plug in the values

\frac{x^2}{55000^2} - \frac{y^2}{59464^2} =1

Should my answer be 85=360+12h
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

h = \frac{- 275}{12}

Step-by-step explanation:

85 = 360 + 12h

85 - 360 = 360 - 360 + 12h

- 275 = 12h

- 275 ÷ 12 = 12h ÷ 12

h = - 275/12
