Answer:
It is the second answer
Step-by-step explanation:
The standard form of an ellipse is
x^2/a^2 + y^2/b^2 or x^2/b^2 + y^2/a^2 = 1
If the x is the main axis we use the first form. If the y is the main axis we use the second form. We will use the second form.
our a is 3 and our b is 4
x^2/3^2 + y^2/4^2
Lets x = width
length = x + 4 (4 meters longer than wide)
A = L * W
192 = x ( x +4)
192 = x^2 + 4x
x^2 + 4x - 192 = 0
(x +16)(x-12) = 0
x - 12 = 0, x = 12
x + 16 = 0, x = -16
so width x = 12
length = 12 + 4 = 16 (4 meters longer than wide)

The correct question is:
A circle has a radius of 45 units and is centered at (-2.4, -4.8).
What is the equation of this circle?
Answer:
Equation of the circle is;
(x + 2.4)² + (y + 4.8)² = 2304
Step-by-step explanation:
The standard equation of a circle is;
(x - a)² + (y - b)² = r²
where;
(a,b) is the center of the circle and r is the radius of the circle
Now, from the question, the circle is centered at (-2.4, -4.8) and the radius is 45
Thus, plugging those values into the standard form of equation of a circle, we have;
(x - (-2.4))² + (y - (-4.8))² = 48²
This gives;
(x + 2.4)² + (y + 4.8)² = 2304
