Consider the attached ellipse. Let the sun be at the right focus. Then perihelion is at right vertex on the x-axis and aphelion is at the left vertex on the x-axis.
The distances:
- from perihelion to the sun in terms of ellipse is a-c;
- from aphelion to the sun in terms of ellipse is a+c.
Then

Add these two equations:
and subtract first equation from the second:
Note that
thus

The equation for the planet's orbit is

Answer:

b. 72
c. 64
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
22
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the following
GE = 3x - 11 FD = 2x
Let us assume GE is parallel to FD, hence GE = FD
3x - 11 = 2x
3x - 2x = 0+11
x = 11
Get GE
GE = 3x - 11
GE = 3(11)-11
GE= 33 - 11
GE = 22
Hence the length of GE is 22
