In the figure below you see an ellipse which is enclosing a rectangle

The equation of ellipse is given by

x^2/4 + y^2 = 1

Find the length(L) and width (W) of the the rectangle which will maximize its area,( A). What is max(A) ?

Note: Cant upload the figures but i think the equation of ellipse is enough. the rectangle should be fitting inside the ellipse.

Find the equation of the ellipse with foci at (0, 0) and (2, 2), with eccentricity e = 0.5. Express the equation in standard form ax2 + by2 + cxy + dx + ey = f and in terms of the distance formula sqrt(x^2+y^2) + sqrt[(x-2)^2 +(y-2)^2]=? There is an answer posted on Chegg, but I don't think I agree with it. Since the foci are at (0, 0) and (2, 2) it seems that the major axis is rotated...

You are designing the top of a pencil pouch that consists of a rectangle to which a semicircle has been attached to both ends. The semicircle will be made from material that costs 1ct per square centimeter. The material of the rectangular part costs 4ct per square centimeter. The perimeter of the pouch must be 80cm. How do you have to choose the radius and the 'open' side of the rectangle so the cost is minimal? Before you start, label...

The equation of an ellipse is x2/a2+y2/b2=1, where a and b are positive constants, a ³ b. The foci of this ellipse are located at (c, 0), and (-c, 0), where c = (a2 – b2)1/2. The eccentricity, e, of this ellipse is given by e=c/a, while the length of the ellipse’s perimeter is \int_0^((\pi )/(2)) 4a(1-e^(2)sin^(2)\theta )^((1)/(2))d\theta . If 0 < e < 1, this integral cannot be integrated in terms of “well-known” functions. However, fnInt, may be used...
