The profile of the cables on a suspension bridge may be modeled by a parabola. The central span of the bridge is 1220 m long and 145 m high. The parabola y=0.00039x gives a good fit to the shape of the cables, where x S610, and x and y are measured in meters. Use a midpoint Riemann sum with n = 10' approximate the length of the cables that stretch between the tops of the two towers. %3D The lenath of the cables is approximately meters.

A system of storm severs in a coastal city is designed to capture water runoff during heavy rains and deposit it into the ocean.
