Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \((8 \sqrt{2}, 4 \sqrt{2})\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given ellipse: \(x^2+4 y^2=64\) Rewrite in standard form: \(\frac{x^2}{64} + \frac{y^2}{16} = 1\) Identify parameters: \(a^2=64 \implies a=8\), \(b^2=16 \implies b=4\) Sides of the rectangle of greatest area: \(2 \frac{a}{\sqrt{2}}\) and \(2 \frac{b}{\sqrt{2}}\) Sides are:…
