Hi, thank you for posting your question here at Brainly.

The general equation of a horizontal ellipse is

(x-h)2/a2 + (y-k)2/b2 = 1, at center (h,k) while a = semi-major axis, b = semi-minor axis. These are related through the distance of the focus from the center,c. a2 = b2 + c2.

If you draw the points on a coordinate plane, the center of the ellipse is at (0,0), so h and k equals 0. Then, the minor axis (2b) spans from 8 to -8 of the y-axis. This is equal to 16 units. Hence,

2b = 16
b = 8
b^2 = 64

The distance between the two foci is 2c. Thus,

2c = 12
c = 6
c^2 = 36

Then, a2 = 64 + 36 = 100. Substituting to the general equation:

x^2/100 + y^2/64 = 1

Similar Polygons

Similar polygons are polygons whose corresponding angles are congruent and their corresponding sides are proportional. In other words, Polygons that have the same shape but not necessarily the same size are called similar polygons.

(brainliest)Armando found the volume of the figure below by using the steps shown. A rectangular prism with a length of 18 inche
Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:  Armando used the wrong dimensions for the triangular prism.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to analyze Armando’s work.

Total Volume = Volume of rectangular prism + volume of triangular prism  

Total Volume = 5 (8) (18) + one-half (6) (18) (8)  

Total Volume= 720 + 432  

Total volume = 1,152 cubic inches.

He made a mistake in the second step, where used h=8 for the triangular prism instead of h= 5 . (h=height)

The correct way to solve this is.

Total Volume = 5 (8) (18) + one-half (6) (18) (5)  

Total Volume= 720 + 270

Total volume = 990 cubic inches.
