The path that a satellite travels around Earth is an ellipse with Earth at one focus. The length of the major axis is about 16,000 km, and the length of the minor axis is about 12,000 km. Write an equation for the satellite's orbit.

The answer to your question is            

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Ellipse

mayor axis = 16,000 km

minor axis = 12,000 km

Process

1) Calculate a and b

Mayor axis = 2a

       16,000 = 2a

       a = 16,000/2

       a = 8000

Minor axis = 2b

       12,000 = 2b

        b = 12,000/2

        b = 6000

step-by-step explanation:

2. angles qrt and qst both measures 156 degrees.

step-by-step explanation:  

we have been given a diagram of a circle and we are told that measure of arc qvt is 156 degrees.  

we can see from our given diagram that angle qrt and angle qst subtends to arc qvt.

since we know that angles subtended by the same arc at the circumference are always equal.

by angle subtended by same arc theorem, measure of angle qrt and angle qst will be equal to the measure of arc qvt.

therefore, angles qrt and qst both measures 156 degrees and 2nd statement is the correct choice.
