In practice, ellipses are often approximated by circular arcs. Here is an approximate ellipse formed by four circular arcs, two of radius 76.25 m and two of radius 17.50 m. It is symmetrical about both center lines. The 4 circular arcs are smoothly blended into each other. Find the total width, "x" of this ellipse, correct to 2 decimal places.
