You can put this solution on YOUR website!
30y=x^2-14x+13
+graph%28+300%2C+200%2C+-2%2C+25%2C+-40%2C+10%2C+30y+=+x%5E2+-14x+%2B13%29+ (graph 300x200 pixels, x from -2 to 25, y from -40 to 10, 30y = x^2 -14x +13).
ACCORDING TO THE GRAPH THE WIDTH LOOKS LIKE IT IS BETWEEN 1&13 THEREFORE THE WIDTH OF THE POND IS (13-1)=12 METERS.
