Please Help? An elliptical riding path is to be built on a rectangular piece of property as shown below. A vertical ellipse is shown centered on the coordinate plane, surrounded by a rectangle of equal length and width. The rectangular piece of property measures 10 miles by 8 miles. Find an equation for the ellipse if the path is to touch the center of the property line on all 4 sides.
