What is the equation of the ellipse with foci at (5, 0), (-5, 0) and vertices (9, 0), (-9, 0)?

Step-by-step explanation:

General equation of ellipse :

Given: Vertices of ellipse : (± 9,0)

Since the vertices are of the form (± a, 0).

i.e. a=9

Thus, the major axis is along x-axis.

Also, foci of the ellipse = (±5,0)

Since, foci is of the form (± c,0), i.e. c=5

Since

Equation of ellipse :

Hence, the required equation :

step-by-step explanation:

given perimeter: 28cm

length: 9cm

atp,

2(l+w)=p of the reactangle

2(9+x)=28

18+2x=28

2x=28-18

x=10/2

x=5

therefore width is 5 cm
