Answer 11

@zarkam21
Did it help you or you still stuck?

Answer 12

The horizontal length would be 20 and the vertical length would be 8 right?

Answer 13

You are correct!

a = 10
and
b = 4

and your case is like that:

Answer 14

So for part 1 the answer would be x^2/10^2+y^2/4^2=1

Answer 15

You mean:
\[\frac{ x^2 }{ 10^2 }+\frac{ y^2 }{ 4^2 }\]??

Answer 16

\[\frac{ x^2 }{ 10^2 }+\frac{ y^2 }{ 4^2 }=1\]??
