One of the holes at a miniature golf course is in the shape of an ellipse. The teeing-off point and the cup are located at the foci, which are 12 feet apart. The minor axis of the ellipse is 8 feet long. Ifon the first shot a player hits the ball off to either side at ground level, and the ball rolls until it reachessome point on the (elliptical) boundary, the ball will bounce off and proceed toward the cup. Under suchcircumstances, what is the total distance traversed by the ball if it just barely reaches the cup?
