    john kenneth
    This document contains 4 problems involving ellipses and their real-life applications. Problem 1 asks about the height of a horizontal roadway above an elliptical arch bridge at a given distance from the center. Problem 2 asks about the distance between foci of an elliptical park in Washington D.C. Problem 3 involves finding properties of Saturn's elliptical orbit around the sun. Problem 4 provides properties of the elliptical Statuary Hall room and asks about its equation, distance between foci, and area.
