- A semielliptical arch over a tunnel for a one-way road through a mountain has a major axis of 50 feet and a height at the center of 10 feet. (a) Sketch the arch of the tunnel on a rectangular coordinate system with the center of the road entering the tunnel at the origin. Label the coordinates of the known points. (b) Find an equation of the semielliptical arch over the tunnel. (c) You are driving a moving truck that has a width of 8 feet and a height of 9 feet. Will the moving truck clear the opening of the arch?arrow_forwardAn ellipse is the set of all points in the plane for which the ____ of the distances from two fixed points F1 and F2 is constant. The points F1 and F2 are called the ____ of the ellipse.arrow_forward
