Answer:
16
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Length of two sides of the triangle = 1 and 16 ;
The largest possible whole-number length of the third side would be ;
Recall from triangle inequality theorem; the length of any two sides of a triangle is greater than the third side. Therefore. The largest possible whole number value the third side could have is:
Assume the third side is the largest :
Then, the third side must be less than the sum of the other two sides ;
Third side < (16 + 1)
Third side < 17
Therefore, the closest whole number lesser than the sum of the other two sides is (17 - 1) = 16
= 2 and 1/2 miles I believe

<u>EXPLANATION</u>
The standard equation of the vertical ellipse with center at the origin is given by

where

The ellipse has its vertices at (0,±17).
This implies that:a=±17 or a²=289
The foci are located at (0,±15).
This implies that:c=±15 or c²=225
We use the following relation to find the value of b²





We substitute into the formula for the standard equation to get:

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Firstly you must understand you want to get the value of y.
So put in values into equation which make x.
To understand here lets look at y = 0
if y is to be 0 then x is 3.
If we substitute this value into equation (B) we get the result.
Now we have identified our answer, all is left is to substitute all other values of x and see if y are true.
So , we can see B is the answer
