General equation for an ellipse with the center (0,0) could be determined using
\boxed{ \dfrac{x^{2}}{a^{2}}+ \dfrac{y^{2}}{b^{2}}=1}
with stands for the length of the horizontal radius and b stands for the length of vertical radius

From the question above, we could draw informations:
b = 27 ft
one of the points on ellipse (x,y) = (24,9)

plug the numbers into the equation
\dfrac{x^{2}}{a^{2}}+ \dfrac{y^{2}}{b^{2}}=1
\dfrac{24^{2}}{a^{2}}+ \dfrac{9^{2}}{27^{2}}=1
\dfrac{576}{a^{2}}+ \dfrac{81}{729}=1
\dfrac{576}{a^{2}}+ \dfrac{1}{9}=1
solve for a²
\dfrac{576}{a^{2}} =1-\dfrac{1}{9}
\dfrac{576}{a^{2}} =\dfrac{8}{9}
a^{2} =\dfrac{9}{8} \times 576
a² = 648

Input the value of a² to the equation
\boxed{ \dfrac{x^{2}}{648}+ \dfrac{y^{2}}{729}=1}
This is the equation of the ellipse

Remark
The general equation for an ellipse is
\frac{x^2}{a^2}+ \frac{y^2}{b^2}=1 

At the center, the the point is 0,27

Solving for the 
\frac{0}{a^2} +  \frac{27^2}{b^2} = 1
or b^2= 27^2 * 1
Taking the square root of both sides 
b = 27

Now we need to use one more piece of information
The second point is (24,9) what that means is at the point x = 24, y = 9

Solving for that 
\frac{24^2}{a^2}+\frac{9^2}{27^2}=1

576/a^2 + 81/729 = 1    Subtract 81/729 from both sides
576/a^2 = 1 - 81/729 = 576/a^2 = (729 - 81)/729 = 648 /729

576/a^2 = 648/729     Cross multiply

648 a^2 = 729 * 576   Divide by 648
a^2 = 648            

Full equation for the ellipse and answer is

\frac{x^2}{648}+ \frac{y^2}{729} = 1

Marathon runner covered the whole distance in 4 hours running at a constant speed of 8.1 km per hour. How long would it take him
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer: it will take him 4.5 hours to cover same distance

Step-by-step explanation:

Marathon runner covered the whole distance in 4 hours running at a constant speed of 8.1 km per hour.

Speed = distance / time

Distance = speed×time

Therefore, distance covered by the marathon runner in in 4 hours, running at a speed of 8.1 km per hour is

8.1 × 4 = 32.4 kilometers

if he decreased the speed to 7.2 km per hour, the distance remains 32.4 kilometers. Therefore,

At 7.2 km per hour, the time it would take him to cover the same distance would be

Distance/ speed = 32.4/7.2 = 4.5 hours

If you were constructing a TRIANGULAR FRAME, and you had wood in the length of 4 inches, 4 inches, and 7 inches, would it make a
Yuri [45]

Answer: Yes it is possible to construct a triangle and it will be an isosceles triangle.


Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle inequality says that for any triangle, the sum of the lengths of any two sides must be greater than or equal to the length of the remaining side.

The given sides of the triangle is 4 inches, 4 inches, and 7 inches.

Here,

4+4=8>7\\7+4>4

So by triangle inequality, a triangle with sides   4 inches, 4 inches, and 7 inches. is possible.

Since it has two equal sides as 4 inches , then it must be an isosceles triangle.
