A marketplace in Australia is in the shape of an ellipse. We can assume the center of the marketplace is at the point (0,0), the location of one of the foci is at the point
(67,0), and the length of the minor axis is 58. Determine the location of each of the vertices of the marketplace. Assume that the major length is horizontal and round your answer to the nearest thousand if needed.
PLEASE show your work or justify your answer.
- (73.007,0) and (−73.007,0)
- (65.719,0) and (−65.719,0)
- (71.447,0) and (−71.447,0)
- (78.216,0) and (−78.216,0)
- None of these are correct.

c = 67; 2b = 58; b = 29; a2 = b2 + c2 = 292 + 672 = 5330; a = 73.007
Vertices: V1(73.007, 0); V2(- 73.007, 0)
Minor vertices: V3(0, 29) and V4(0, - 29)
