The planets in our solar system do not travel in circular paths. rather, their orbits are elliptical. the sun is located at a focus of the ellipse.
the perihelion is the point in a planet’s orbit that is closest to the sun. so, it is the endpoint of the major axis that is closest to the sun.
the aphelion is the point in the planet’s orbit that is furthest from the sun. so, it is the endpoint of the major axis that is furthest from the sun.
the closest mercury comes to the sun is about 46 million miles. the farthest mercury travels from the sun is about 70 million miles.
1. what is the distance between the perihelion and the aphelion?
2. what is the distance from the center of mercury’s elliptical orbit and the sun?
3. write the equation of the elliptical orbit of mercury, where the major axis runs horizontally. allow a and b to be measured in millions of miles. use the origin as the center of the ellipse.
4. what is the eccentricity of the ellipse? round your answer to the nearest thousandth.
5. what does the value of the eccentricity tell you about the relative shape of the ellipse?

there has been genes found in the x chromosome of males that have been linked to [homo/hetero]sexuality. in addition to the reign of the x chromosome, a section of chromosome 8 has also been link to, "alot of ppl are so " these facts were proven true after a 2014 study of a gay male and his strait brother. according to newscientist.com,"chromosome 14 and is mainly active in the thyroid, but also the brain. called tshr, it makes a type of receptor protein that recognises and binds to a hormone that stimulates the thyroid. in this way, the gene plays an important role in controlling thyroid function. the fact that tshr seems to be involved in sexual orientation fits with evidence that thyroid function seems to be linked to sexuality."

in conclusion, "ppl are so gay" due to their genetics.

step-by-step explanation:

dilation scale factor 2: starting with δabc, draw the dilation image of the triangle with a center at the origin and a scale factor of two. notice that every coordinate of the original triangle has been multiplied by the scale factor (x2). dilation with scale factor 2, multiply by 2.

the correct answer would be:

220 centimeters

to get this you can use the pythagorean theorem
