What are the a and b in this ellipse? Answer by greenestamps(13200) (Show Source):
It looks as if you are simply posting all of these similar questions, wanting us to do all your work for you. That's not the purpose of this forum; our purpose is to help YOU learn how to work the problems.
Here is what you need to know to work this one:
The segment connecting the co-vertices is the minor axis; its length is 2b.
The length of the major axis is 16, which is 2a.
You can put the pieces together to find a and b; only a couple of simple calculations are needed.
