A warehouse project requires a parabolic support arch that is 20 feet high and 40 feet wide at its base. To find the equation of the arch, the design team establishes a coordinate system with the lower-left corner at the origin . Match each component of the arch's mathematical model with its corresponding value or coordinate pair.

An architectural drafting team is laying out a design for a parabolic arch entry gate that will be 20 feet high and 40 feet wide at its base. To model the equation of the arch in their drafting software, they establish a coordinate system where the lower left side of the arch's base is positioned at the origin . Based on this setup, what are the coordinates of the arch's vertex (the highest point)?

A structural engineering team is modeling a parabolic support arch that is feet high and feet wide at its base. Following the standard procedure where the left base of the arch is placed at the origin , arrange the steps in the correct order to determine the arch's equation.
In a structural design for a building entryway, a parabolic arch is planned to be feet high and feet wide. If a coordinate system is established such that the left base of the arch is at the origin , the leading coefficient in the vertex form equation is equal to -rac{1}{20}.
