An hyperboloid is a 3D shape whose cross sections are hyperbolas. A nuclear cooling tower is in the shape of a portion of a hyperboloid. If the equation 2 10000 - y 109561 = 1 models the hyperbolic cross section of the cooling tower (in meters) shown below, what is the smallest diameter of the cooling tower? (Diagram is not to scale.)
