Question 1080450: write an equation in standard form of an ellipse that is 50 units high and 40 units wide. The center of the ellipse is (0,0)
Answer by rapture(86) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
[(x - h)^2]/a^2 + [(y - k)^2]/b^2 = 1

If the major axis measures 50, then a = 25.
If the minor axis is 40, then b = 20.
Since we are centered at the origin, then h = 0 = k.

[(x - 0)^2]/(25)^2 + [(y - 0)]/(20)^2 = 1

(x^2)/625 + (y^2)/400 = 1
