Answer to Problem 19WE
The ellipsoid have three line symmetries with respect to three mutually perpendicular axis which intersect each other at the centre of ellipsoid.
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The given statement is that describe symmetries of the ellipsoid.
The ellipsoid has many number of plane symmetry about the many planes that contain the b and plane symmetry about the single plane that contains a, and is perpendicular to b . the ellipse also has many rotational symmetries about b and

- 2arrow_forwardCan someone help me with this please?arrow_forwardMariela is in her classroom and looking out of a window at a tree, which is 20 feet away. Mariela’s line of sight to the top of the tree creates a 42° angle of elevation, and her line of sight to the base of the tree creates a 31° angle of depression. What is the height of the tree, rounded to the nearest foot? Be sure to show your work to explain how you got your answer.arrow_forward
