Your company was contacted by a client who wants to construct a passage tunnel which is either in the shape of a parabola or semi-ellipse. Given that the passage is to be constructed for one-way or two-way traffic and with a height of 16-24 feet and width of 34-58 feet along the ground with the values of 24 feet by 58 feet, help the client decide on what shape to use. For this project, we assume that the dimensions of the cross section of the bus is 8 feet by 10 feet and 4 inches. There is a 2 feet space between the buses if they are entering the tunnel in the same direction. For the two-way tunnel, there will be a 4 feet space in between the buses that are in opposite directions.

Your company was contacted by a client who wants to construct apassage tunnel which is either in the shape of a parabola or semi-ellipse.Given that the passage is to be constructed for one-way or two-waytraffic and with a height of 16 − 24 feet and width of 34 − 58 feet alongthe ground (each group will be given specific values), help the clientdecide on what shape to use. For this project, we assume that thedimensions of the cross-section of the bus are 8 feet by 10 feet and 4inches. There is a 2 feet space between the buses if they are entering thetunnel in the same direction. For the two-way tunnel, there will be a 4feet space in between the buses that are in opposite directions. Solve for the standard form and general form of a parabolic and semi-elliptic tunnel. Then graph both. Given: Tunnel Height: 18ft Width along the Ground: 38ft
