The arch beneath a bridge is semi–elliptical, a one–way roadway passes under the arch. The width
of the roadway is 30 feet and the height of the arch over the center of the roadway is 12 feet. Two
trucks plan to use this road. They are both 8 feet wide. Truck 1 has an overall height of 12 feet and
Truck 2 has an overall height of 13 feet. Draw a rough sketch of the situation and determine which
of the trucks can pass under the bridge.
Truck 1 can pass under the bridge, but Truck 2 cannot.
Truck 2 can pass under the bridge, but Truck 1 cannot.
Both Truck 1 and Truck 2 can pass under the bridge.
Neither Truck 1 nor Truck 2 can pass under the bridge.
