A satellite dish is shaped like a paraboloid of revolution. This means that it can be formed by rotating a parabola around its axis of symmetry. The receiver is to be located at the focus. If the dish is 37 feet across at its opening and 12 feet deep at its center, how many feet above the vertex should the receiver be placed? (round to 2 decimal places)
