Question 1053233: "A bridge is built in the form of a semi elliptical arc. It has an extension of 120 feet. The height of the arc from its center (which is 27 feet), is of 9 feet (height). I have to find the height of the arc to its center".
I'm taking a module quiz, and I'm applying formulas from Conic Sections. Although the test is multiple choice,and the answers are: a). 10.08 feet b). 100.8 feet c). 1.008 feet d). 1008 feet. Everytime I apply the process it gives me a different answer. Help?
