A railroad tunnel is shaped like a semiellipse, as shown below.

A semiellipse is shown on the coordinate plane with vertices on the x axis and one point of intersection with the positive y axis.

The height of the tunnel at the center is 35 ft, and the vertical clearance must be 21 ft at a point 8 ft from the center. Find an equation for the ellipse.
