Given:
center (0,0)
the equation given should have been:
x²/2500 + y²/8100 = 1

We need to identify the larger denominator. If it is under x, the ellipse is horizontal. If it is under y, the ellipse is vertical. In this case, 8100 is larger and it is under y so the ellipse is vertical.

(x-h)²/b² + (y-k)²/a² = 1

h and k are the center values which are both 0.
a = length of the semi-major axis
b = length of the semi-minor axis

x²/2500 + y²/8100 = 1
x²/50² + y²/90² = 1

a = 90. It is the semi-major axis. 

length of the major axis is 180yards.

90 x 2 = 180

ANEK [815]
The 8th grade does. All you do is divide each number by the amount of hours worked. So 6th grade 170/55 7th 112/4 and 8th 192/6
In the end its 6th= 3 dollars an hour 7th= 28 dolars an hour and 8th gets 32dollars an hour so they have the highest rate

When a spherical balloon is filled with air, it has a radius of 3 inches. Which of these gives the best estimate for the volume
marysya [2.9K]
By definition, the volume of a sphere is given by:
 V = (4/3) * (pi) * (r ^ 3)
 where,
 r: radius of the sphere.
 Substituting we have:
 V = (4/3) * (pi) * ((3) ^ 3) = 113.08 in ^ 3
 answer
 the best estimate for the volume of air in the balloon in cubic inches is
 C. 113.1
