The equation of the horizontal ellipse is [tex]\frac{x^2}{144}+\frac{y^2}{100}=1[/tex]
Ellipse is a plane curve surrounding two focal points, such that for all points on the curve, the sum of the two distances to the focal points is a constant.
The standard form of an ellipse with horizontal major axis is:
[tex]\frac{x^2}{a^2}+\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1[/tex]
Where a > b
since a = 12, b = 10, hence:
[tex]\frac{x^2}{12^2}+\frac{y^2}{10^2}=1\\\\\frac{x^2}{144}+\frac{y^2}{100}=1[/tex]
The equation of the horizontal ellipse is [tex]\frac{x^2}{144}+\frac{y^2}{100}=1[/tex]
