the standard form for a horizontal ellipse is

X^2/a^2 + y^2/b^2 = 1

Substitute 54 for b and and use (8,18) as the

point to find a

x=8

y=18

8^2/a^2 + 18^2/54^2 =1

64/a^2 +  324/2916 = 1

324/2916 reduces to 1/9

64/a^2 + 1/9 = 1

64/a^2= 1-1/9

64/a^2 = 8/9

64*9/8 = a^2

576/8 = 72

A^2 = 72

A = square root(72) = 8.485

 So formula

would be x^2/72 + y^2/2916 =1

Answer:

x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

-5(1 + 1x) = -50

-5 + -5x = -50

-5 + -5x + 5 = -5x

-50 + 5 = -45

-5x = -45

-5x / -5 = x

-45 / -5 = 9

x = 9

Find the side length of a cube with a volume of 166 m
marin [14]
The answer is 5.5 m.


Cube
Volume = length x width x height

Since the length, width and the height are the same in cube, the formula can be:

Volume = length^3


Let x metres be the side length of the cube.

166 = x^3

x = ∛166

x = 5.495864.....

x = 5.5 (nearest tenth)
