2.
A jogging path is in the shape of an ellipse. If it is 120 f long and 40 ft wide, what
is the width of the track 15 A from either vertex?
Answer 26.46 fAt
Radiation is focused on an unhealthy area in a patient's body using a semielliptical
reflector, positioned in such a way that the target area is at one focus while the source of
radiation is at the other. If the reflector is 100 cm wide and 30 cm high at the center, how
far should the rradiation source and the target area be from the end of the reflector?
Answer 10cm away from an end of the reflector

A doorway is in the shape of a rectangle capped by a semi-ellipse. If the rectangle is
1m wide and 2 m high while the ellipse is 0.3 m high at the center, can a cabinet that is
226 m high, 05 m wide, and 2 m long be pusbed through the doorway? Assume that the
cabinet cannot be land down on its side
