A railway bridge over a road is in the shape of a parabola 2011-11-23
From Brennen:
A railway bridge over a road is in the shape of a parabola, and the bridge is 3 m high in the middle and 6 m wide at its base. A truck that is 2m wide is approaching the bridge. What is the maximum height that the truck can have and still pass under the bridge? Explain.

Thank you!!
