As per the question the elliptical shaped statuary hall has been drawn which is 96 ft long and 48 ft
wide. Let us assume that the person is standing at focus F1 and her whisper can be heard by a person standing at another focus F2.
This a typical ellipse with major axis 96 ft and Minor axis 42 ft following standard equation of ellipse which is a2x2+b2y2=1.
