On October 1 a gas meter read 2967 and on November 1 it read 3014. (The gas meter measures in hundred of cubic feet.) how many cubic feet of gas were used during October?

cut 138 centimeters off

step-by-step explanation:

250-112 = 138

let's first notice, the center of the hyperbola is at the origin, since the focus points are equidistantly 3 units away from the origin, that also means that the distance "c" from the center to either focus is 3.

it should also be notable that, the traverse axis for this hyperbola is vertical, or namely over the y-axis and therefore, the positive fraction will be the one with y-variable.

the traverse "a" component or distance from the center to either vertex is not 2, is more than 2, so we can safely put it at √5 ≈ 2.24.

d will be the best answer
