... cable’s lowest point is 2100 feet from the left tower shown above. Since the heights of the two tower’s are the same, the symmetry of the parabola implies that the vertex is also 2100 feet from the right tower. Therefore the towers are d = 2(2100) = 4200 feet apart. b. The height l above the road of ...
