27. When the equation for an ellipse is in the standard form + = 1, the major axis can be determined by the
b2 a2
greater value of the denominator. In this case, the greater denominator is with the y2 term, so the ellipse has a
vertical major axis. The distance from the center of the ellipse to a vertex is a. In this case, a = 11236 = 106.
The length of the major axis of the track is twice a or 212 yards.
