- The entrance to a hall is in the form of a semi-ellipse 6 m wide at the bottom and 4 m high.1. Draw a diagram of the entrance. Label the parts.2. Solve for the area of coverage of the entrance to the hall.arrow_forwardAn ellipse centered at the origin is described by the equation x2 /a2 + y2/ b2 = 1, where a and b are positive constants. If the upper half of such an ellipse is revolved about the x-axis, the resulting surface is an ellipsoid. a. Use the washer method to find the volume of an ellipsoid (in terms of a and b). Check your work using the shell method. b. Both American and rugby union footballs have the shape of ellipsoids. The maximum regulation size of a rugby union football corresponds to parameters of a = 6 in and b = 3.82 in, and the maximum regulation size of an American football corresponds to parameters of a = 5.62 in and b = 3.38 in. Find the volume of each football. c. Fill in the blank: At their maximum regulation sizes, the volume of a rugby union football has approximately_______________ times the volume of an American football.arrow_forwardThe ellipse (x^2)/(a^2) +(y^2)/(b^2) = 1 a > b is rotated about the x-axis to form a surface called an ellipsoid, or prolate spheroid. Find the surface area of this ellipsoid.arrow_forward
- A cross-section of a trough is a semi-ellipse with width at the top 8 cm and depth 12 cm. The trough isfilled with water to a depth of 8 cm. Find the width at a surface of the water.a. 52 cm b. 122 cm c. 72 cm d. 62 cmarrow_forwardThe base of a body is an ellipse with axis lengths of 10 cm and 8 cm. Find the volume of the object since the intersection of this object with the planes perpendicular to the major axis is isosceles triangles with a height of 6 cm.arrow_forwardThe hyperbola x2 –y2=a2 revolves about its transverse axis. Find the volume of a segment of height a of the hyperboloid generated. Use the different method of Volume of Solid Revolution and dont forget to include figurearrow_forward
- Identify the quadric surface (hyperboloid of one sheet, ellipsoid, elliptic paraboloid, etc). Show your work with completing the square. The parts are in the image. Thank you.arrow_forwardA line segment of length a + b runs from the x-axis to the y-axis. The point P on the segment lies a units from one end and b units from the other end. Show that P traces an ellipse as the ends of the segment slide along the axes.arrow_forwardArea of a roof over an ellipse Find the area of the surface S that liesin the plane z = 12 - 4x - 3y directly above the region R bounded by the ellipse x2/4 + y2 = 1.arrow_forward
- AreaFind the Area enclosed by the ellipse x2/a2+y2/b2 =1. Shown in the figurearrow_forwardMajor axis vertical with length12;length of minor axis = 6;center: (0, 0).Find the standard form of the equation of ellipse satisfying the given condition.arrow_forwardFind the area of the surface. The portion of the cone z = 2x2 + y2 that lies over the region between the circle x2 + y2 = 1 and the ellipse 9x2 + 4y2 = 36 in the xy-plane. (Hint: Use formulas from geometry to find the area of the region.)arrow_forward
