Question:

For the following exercises, find the area of the ellipse. The area of an ellipse is given by the formula Area = a ⋅ b ⋅ π.

A person in a whispering gallery standing at one focus of the ellipse can whisper and be heard by a person standing at the other focus because all the sound waves that reach the ceiling are reflected to the other person. If a whispering gallery has a length of 120 feet, and the foci are located 30 feet from the center, find the height of the ceiling at the center.
