Height of the archway 5 feet from the center is required.

The height of the archway 5 feet away from the center is 12.757 feet.

Semi-major axis = $a=\dfrac{52}{2}=26\ \text{feet}$

Semi-minor axis = $b=13\ \text{feet}$

The formula for ellipse is

$\dfrac{x^2}{a^2}+\dfrac{y^2}{b^2}=1\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{x^2}{26^2}+\dfrac{y^2}{13^2}=1$

At 10 feet is the width of the truck.

The truck is passing through the center so the $x=\dfrac{10}{2}=5$

$\dfrac{5^2}{26^2}+\dfrac{y^2}{13^2}=1\\\Rightarrow y=\sqrt{(1-\dfrac{5^2}{26^2})\times 13^2}\\\Rightarrow y=12.757\ \text{feet}$

Now $y=12.757\ \text{feet}12\ \text{feet}$

So, the height of the archway 5 feet away from the center is 12.757 feet.

Answer from: espemena541

Figure is missing, so i have attached it.

it will clear the arch because the height of the archway of the bridge 5 feet from the center is approximately 12.76 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form of equation of an ellipse is;

x²/a² + y²/b² = 1

From the figure in the image attached, we can see that the radius is; a = 52/2 = 26 ft

While the value of b = 13 ft

Thus;

x²/26² + y²/13² = 1

x²/676 + y²/169 = 1

We want to find the height of the archway of the bridge 5 feet from the center.

Thus, we will plug in 5 for x to get;

5²/676 + y²/169 = 1

(25/676) + (y²/169) = 1

Multiply through by 676 to get;

25 + 4y² = 676

4y² = 676 - 25

y² = 651/4

y² = 162.75

y = 12.76 ft

Thus height of the truck is 12 ft and so it will clear the arch because the height of the archway of the bridge 5 feet from the center is approximately 12.76 ft

Answer from: Quest

answer: the value should be used for i in the formula of calculation the monthly payment , the interest rate per period is 0.85.

step-by-step explanation:

the given rate of interest i= 85%

in calculating the monthly payment for a loan with an interest rate compounded monthly, the value of the interest rate per period we use in the formula must be in decimal form.

to convert it in decimal, we divide it by 100, we get

$i=\frac{85}{100}=0.85$

hence, the value should be used for i in the formula of calculation the monthly payment , the interest rate per period is 0.85.
