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

I need help no kap slide an answer
Zolol [24]

Answer:

The answer is A. Angles are proportional, side lengths are larger.

Step-by-step explanation:

That’s because scale factors greater than one make a shape larger, and the angles are proportional it's the lengths of the size that change.

A jogger goes half a mile north and then turns west. If the jogger finishes 1.3 miles away from the starting point, how far west
Ratling [72]
In order to solve this problem, you must draw a right triangle first to help you visualize the path of the jogger. 
You are given 0.5 miles north (which will be the height of the right triangle), and 1.3 miles (which will be the hypotenuse of the triangle). 
Using Pythagorean Theorem: a²+b²=c², we have:
0.5² + b² = 1.3²
b = 1.3²-0.5²
b = 1.2 miles
