You are tasked with analyzing a design that has been drawn for a bridge over an existing two-lane road. The arch over the road is in the shape of a half-ellipse that is 40 feet wide at the base of the arch and it is 15 feet tall at the center of the arch. The bridge must have a 13-foot clearance for vehicles on the road. The 22-foot-wide road is centered directly beneath the highest point of the arch. H. Test the equation you now have from part g in the inequality from part b to confirm the design works. Then find the maximum height of a vehicle that can freely pass beneath the bridge that would be posted on the maximum clearance sign.For part G I got x^2/400+y^2/81=1For part B i got x^2/400+y^2/225<1{y is greater than or equal to 0}
