Answer: 120 ft
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
The Ellipse equation is: where
- (h, k) is the center
- "a" is the horizontal radius
- "b" is the vertical radius
- c is the distance from the center to the foci: |a² - b²| = c²
Given: horizontal diameter = 122 → horizontal radius = 61 = a
vertical diameter = 22 → vertical radius = 11 = b
Foci (c): 61² - 11² = c²
3721 - 121 = c²
3600 = c²
±60 = c
Let (h, k) = (0, 0)
Then the foci are located at -60 and +60.
The distance between them is 60 + 60 = 120
