Answer:

The equation 49^2 + 16^2 = 784 can be rewritten as (x/24.5)^2 + (y/8)^2 = 1.

The standard form of an ellipse is (x/a)^2 + (y/b)^2 = 1, where a and b are the lengths of the major and minor axes, respectively. In this case, a = 24.5 and b = 8.

To graph the ellipse, we can use the equation in the standard form and plot points that satisfy the equation. The center of the ellipse is (0,0) and it has a major axis of 24.5 and minor axis of 8.

The graph of this ellipse will look like an oval, with the center at the origin, major axis along the x-axis and minor axis along the y-axis.
