To determine if the planner has met the minimum clearance height of 9 feet under the arch, we need to assess the given options carefully. The key point of interest is the maximum height of the arch, not its width.
Let's review the provided options:
1. No, because the width of the arch is 8 feet:
- This option mentions the width of the arch but does not provide any information about the height.
- It is irrelevant to the clearance height requirement of 9 feet.
2. Yes, because the width of the arch is 9.6 feet:
- Again, this option discusses the width but not the height.
- The width information does not help us determine if the clearance height requirement is met.
3. No, because the maximum height of the arch is 8 feet:
- This option directly addresses the maximum height of the arch.
- If the maximum height is only 8 feet, it falls short of the required 9 feet clearance.
- Therefore, this option indicates that the planner has not met the minimum height requirement.
4. Yes, because the maximum height of the arch is 9.6 feet:
- This option provides information about the maximum height, which is the critical consideration.
- If the maximum height is 9.6 feet, it exceeds the required clearance height of 9 feet.
- According to this option, the planner has indeed met the minimum height requirement.
Given this detailed analysis, the correct conclusion is:
Yes, because the maximum height of the arch is 9.6 feet.
