Answer 3

8? how'd u get that?

Answer 4

so u have 25 and 16 below something squared each right?

mmhmm :D

Answer 6

take the smaller one which is 16 = 4^2

Answer 7

so that means from one end of the ellipse to the center, the length is 4

okay :D and is it like 2 times that? or something?

Answer 9

so from one end to other end 4+4 is 8

if you have to find major axis, take the larger number 25 = 5^2

Answer 11

so from the center to the longer end of the ellipse is 5 units meaning major axis is 10 units long
