The height of this bridge from a point in the river that is exactly 25 feet is given as 10√3 = 17.32
Using the equation of an ellipse we have
[tex]\frac{x^2}{50^2} +\frac{y^2}{20^2}=1 \\\\x = 25\\\\\frac{25^2}{50^2} +\frac{y^2}{20^2}=1[/tex]
625/2500 + y²/400 = 1
= 0.25 + y²/400 = 1
y=10√3
= 17.32
The height of the bridge over the point that is exactly 25 from the center of the river is 17.32
