- Find the equation of the ellipse shown.arrow_forwardA planet moves in an elliptical orbit around its sun. The closest the planet gets to the sun is approximately 20 Au and the furthest is approximately 30 AU. The sun is one of the foci of the elliptical orbit. Letting the ellipse center at the origin and labeling the axes in AU, the orbit will look like the figure below, use the graph to write an equation for the elliptical orbit of the planet.arrow_forwardDrawing Ellipses Use two thumbtacks, a string, and a pencil to draw an ellipse.

- Statuary Hall is an elliptical room in the United States Capitol in Washington, D.C. The room is also called the Whispering Gallery because a person standing at one focus of the room can hear even a whisper spoken by a person standing at the other focus. This occurs because any sound emitted from one focus of an ellipse reflects off the side of the ellipse to the other focus. Statuary Hall is 46 feet wide and 97 feet long. (a) Find an equation that models the shape of the room. (b) How far apart are the two foci? (c) What is the area of the floor of the room? (The area of an ellipse is A=ab.)arrow_forwardExpress the equation of the ellipse given in standard form. Identify the center, vertices, co-vertices, and foci of the ellipse. 4x2+y224x+2y+21=0arrow_forwardFind the standard form of the equation of the ellipse with vertices(0,2) and (8,2) and minor axis of length 4. Then find the eccentricity of the ellipse.arrow_forward
- A person in a whispering gallery standing at one focus of the ellipse can whisper and be heard by a person standing at the other focus because all the sound waves that reach the ceiling are reflected to the other person. If a whispering gallery has a length of 120 feet, and the foci are located 30 feet from the center, find the height of the ceiling at the center.arrow_forwardA comet moves in an elliptical orbit around a sun. The closest the comet gets to the sun is approximately 15 AU and the furthest is approximately 95 AU. The sun is one of the foci of the elliptical orbit.
