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

REY [17]

Answer:

<h2>9/35, 0.257 or 25.7%</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The basic and simple way to calculate the probability of an event happening is by using this equation:

<h2>Number of desired outcomes</h2><h2>------------------------------------------------- = Probability </h2><h2>Number of all possible outcomes</h2><h2 />

Our desired outcomes are picking either red or yellow candies. The number of desired outcomes in this case is the total number of red and yellow candies. 6 red + 3 yellow = 9

Number of desired outcomes = 9

Number of all possible outcomes in this case is the total number of candies in the bag. 10 green + 8 brown + 3 yellow + 8 blue + 6 red = 35

Number of all possible outcomes = 35

Use the formula and we get that the probabbility of drawing out a yellow or red candy is: 9/35, 0.257 or 25.7% (those are 3 different ways to write the probability)
