Length of major axis: 66
Vertices on the x-axis.
Passes through the point (16.5 ,3 )
Equation of the ellipse:
***
Given ellipse has a horizontal major axis
Its standard form of equation: %28x-h%29%5E2%2Fa%5E2%2B%28y-k%29%5E2%2Fb%5E2, a>b, (h,k)=coordinates of center
length of major axis=66=2a
a=33
a^2=1089
y-coordinate of center=0=k
using coordinates of given point (16.5,3):
%2816.5-h%29%5E2%2F1089%2B%283-0%29%5E2%2Fb%5E2
