Maybe because you're finding the "difference" between the two numbers. We could also question why the answer to an addition problem is called sum.
Well, 'sum'body said that's what they should be called a long time ago, that's why we're using that term to call them now.

Jamie and Jason want to exchange secrets (terrible secrets) from across a crowded whispering gallery. Recall that a whispering g
Aleks [24]

Answer:

4 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the whispering gallery is 15 feet high and 60 feet wide, it forms an ellipse with major axis along the width of the gallery and minor axis along the height of the gallery.

Using the equation of an ellipse with major axis along the x-axis, we have

x²/a² + y²/b² = 1 where a = midpoint of the width = 60/2 = 30 feet and b = 15 feet.

c² = a² - b² where c = focus of the ellipse.

So, c² = a² - b²

= 30² - 15²

= 900 - 225

= 675

c = ±√675 = ±25.98 feet

So, the coordinate of the focus is thus (0, ±c) = (0, ±25.98) and the coordinate of the vertex is (0, ±a) = (0, ±30)

So, the distance between the foci and the vertex is the distance from the wall at which each of them should be positioned at the foci.

So, d = a - c

= 30 ft - 25.98 ft

= 4.02 feet

≅ 4 feet
