Question 999492: I HAVE tried this so many times and still is ending up with the wrong answer. Please help me and show all work,
The equation of the ellipse that has a center at (8,2) , a focus at (11,2) , and a vertex at (13,2) , is (a-C)^2/A^2 + (y-D)^2/B^2=1

These are the answers I got.

A=_10
B=__14
C=__21
