<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
The ellipse is vertical so y has the biggest radius.
Major axis (y) = 20 so the y-radius is 20/2 = 10
Minor axis (x) = 14 so the x-radius is 14/2 = 7
The equation of an ellipse is: 
where
- (h, k) is the center of the ellipse
- a is the x-radius
- b is the y-radius
Given: a = 7, b = 10
Assume: (h, k) = (0, 0)
Answer:
x = 69.44
Step-by-step explanation:
We have, 36% × x = 25
or, 36/100 × x = 25
Multiplying both sides by 100 and dividing both sides by 36,
we have x = 25 × 100/36
x = 69.44
If you are using a calculator, simply enter 25×100÷36, which will give you the answer.
This question is nasty. It sounds like you should be finding area of the figure you see. I'll do that first, although I don't think it's the right answer. (But it might be).
Area Trapezoid = (b1 + b2) * h / 2
b1 = 8
b2 = 12
h = 5
Area Trapezoid = (8 + 12 ) * 5 / 2
Area Trapezoid = 20 * 5/2
Area = 50 square feet.
The problem is that no lumber yard will cut that for you without charging you. The practical answer is 12 * 5 = 60 square feet is what you will have to buy. Then you cut out the triangles for yourself.
