Find an equation for the ellipse, where  \mathrm{x}  and  \mathrm{y}  are measured in  \mathrm{ft} .     A)   \frac{x^{2}}{768}+\frac{y^{2}}{676}=1   B)   \frac{x^{2}}{576}+\frac{y^{2}}{2704}=1   C)   \frac{x^{2}}{2704}+\frac{y^{2}}{768}=1   D)   \frac{x^{2}}{768}+\frac{y^{2}}{2704}=1


A) x2768+y2676=1\frac{x^{2}}{768}+\frac{y^{2}}{676}=1

B) x2576+y22704=1\frac{x^{2}}{576}+\frac{y^{2}}{2704}=1

C) x22704+y2768=1\frac{x^{2}}{2704}+\frac{y^{2}}{768}=1

D) x2768+y22704=1\frac{x^{2}}{768}+\frac{y^{2}}{2704}=1
