Mathematical Modeling of a Parabolic Support Arch

A structural engineering team is designing a parabolic support arch for a building entrance that is 20 feet high and 40 feet wide at its base. To create a digital model, they establish a coordinate system where the lower left point of the arch is at the origin (0,0)(0, 0). Based on this specific model, what is the final equation of the arch in vertex form?
