Solve the problem.An experimental model for a suspension bridge is built in the shape of a parabolic arch. In one section, cable runs from the top of one tower down to the roadway, just touching it there, and up again to the top of a second tower. The towers stand 60 inches apart. At a point between the towers and 15 inches along the road from the base of one tower, the cable is 2.25 inches above the roadway. Find the height of the towers.
