VII. Problem Solving

1. A particular tunnel in Westeroos is semi-elliptical. The base is 15 m wide while the maximum height is at 8 m. A faceless guy
decided to walk 3 m from the side of the tunnel. How tall can the guy be if his head is not to bump the ceiling of the tunnel?

2. Somewhere in a far far away galaxy, the three-point line of the basketball court is parabolic. The two ends of the line, which is
aligned with the basketball ring, are 6 m apart. The vertex of the parabola is directly opposite the ring and is 10 m away from the
ring. Michael Jokedan Research foundation has found out that the best shooting spot is located at the focus of the parabola. How
far is this point from the ring?
