The cross section of a cooling tower of a nuclear power plant is in the shape of a hyperbola, and can be modeled by the equation. x 2 625 − y − 80 2 2500 = 1 where x and y are measured in meters. The top of the tower is 120 m above the base. a. Determine the diameter of the tower at the base. Round to the nearest meter. b. Determine the diameter of the tower at the top. Round to the nearest meter.
