Draw the elliptical gate and show the foci, the width, and height as in the figure below.
Note that
a = 5 ft, the width
b = 3 ft, the height

The center is at (0,0).
The foci are at (c, 0) and at (-c, 0).

The foci are related to a and b by
c² = a² - b²
    = 5² - 3² = 16
c = +4 or -4

Answer:
The foci are located 4 ft horizontally from the center of the ellipse.

Brent divided three and one half by seven. What number did he get?
Katen [24]
I believe the answer is 1/2

I changed 3 1/2 to an improper fraction (7/2), then I had to find the reciprocal of 7, which is 1/7.  I then multiplied 7/2 by 1/7 which gave me 7/14, which I reduced to 1/2.

Hope this answers your question.
