\n" ); document.write( "STD.EQN.OF PARABOLA TAKING YOUR POSITION AS VERTEX (0,0)AND THE LINE BETWEEN YOU AND THE RECEIVER AS AXIS IS
\n" ); document.write( "Y^2=4AX
\n" ); document.write( "THE RECEIVER'S POSITION IS (25*3=75',5.5')IS WHERE THE PARABOLA SHOULD PASS THROUGH...SO
\n" ); document.write( "5.5^2=4A*75=300A
\n" ); document.write( "A=5.5*5.5/300=0.10083333
