When you have two squares stacked on top of each other, pretend the angle in the bottom left of the top square is a 90 degree angle, that means that the angle of the square right underneath, also sharing the line, is a 90 degree angle. Or whatever you would need to get it equal to 180, my example was 90/90.
Answer:
I believe the answer is 10 units.
Answer: B. The coordinates of the center are (-3,4), and the length of the radius is 10 units.
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a circle in the center-radius form is:
(1)
Where
are the coordinates of the center and
is the radius.
Now, we are given the equation of this circle as follows:
(2)
And we have to write it in the format of equation (1). So, let's begin by applying common factor 2 in the left side of the equation:
(3)
Rearranging the equation:
(4)
(5)
Now we have to complete the square in both parenthesis, in order to have a perfect square trinomial in the form of
:
<u>For the first parenthesis:</u>

We can rewrite this as:

Hence in this case
and
:

<u>For the second parenthesis:</u>

We can rewrite this as:

Hence in this case
and
:

Then, equation (5) is rewritten as follows:
(6)
<u>Note we are adding 9 and 16 in both sides of the equation in order to keep the equality.</u>
Rearranging:
(7)
At this point we have the circle equation in the center radius form 
Hence:



Answer:
None
Step-by-step explanation:
The center of the ellipse is at (2, 4)
The length of the x axis is a= (8-2) =6
The length of the y axis is b=(16-4) = 12
The formula for an ellipse is
(x-h) ^2 (y-k)^2
----------- + -------------- = 1^2
a^2 b^2
where (h,k) is the center
and a and b are the lengths of the major and minor axes
(x-2) ^2 (y-4)^2
----------- + -------------- = 1
6^2 12^2
none of your choices have b>a and for the ellipse to be vertical b>a
