7) A bridge is built in the shape of a parabolic arch. The bridge arch has a span of 138 feet 7)
and a maximum height of 40 feet. Find the height of the arch at 5 feet from its center.

8) A satellite dish is shaped like a paraboloid of revolution. The signals that emanate 8)
from a satellite strike the surface of the dish and are reflected to a single point, where
the receiver is located. If the dish is 8 feet across at its opening and is 2 feet deep at its
center, at what position should the receiver be placed?

11) An arch for a bridge over a highway is in the form of a semiellipse. The top of the arch 11)
is 35 feet above ground (the major axis). What should the span of the bridge be (the
length of its minor axis) if the height 25 feet from the center is to be 12 feet above
ground?
