Question:medium

An arch of a bridge is semi-elliptical with major axis horizontal. If the length of the base is \(9\) m and the highest part of the bridge is \(3\) m from the centre of the horizontal axis, the best approximation of the height of the arch \(2\) m from the centre of the base is:

Show Hint

For semi-elliptical arches, use standard ellipse equation.
