Answer:
Answer:
A big room is constructed so that the ceiling is a dome that is semielliptical in shape. If a person stands at one focus and speaks, the sound that is made bounces off the ceiling and gets reflected to the other focus. Thus, if two people stand at the foci (ignoring their heights), they will be able to hear each other. If the room is 34 m long and 8 m high, how far from the center should each of two people stand if they would like to whisper back and forth and hear each other?
A: 15 m
