Question:

The main cables of a suspension bridge typically hang in the shape of parallel parabolas on both sides of the roadway. The vertical support cables, labeled a-k, are equally spaced, and the center of the parabolic cable touches the roadway at f.

What is the total length of vertical support cable needed for the portion of the bridge between the two towers?
