according to the question OC = 15m and AB = 150m
now let the equation of parabola is x2 = -4ay assuming O as origin.
at A(-75,-15) lie on this parabola.
752 = -4a(-15) ==> 4a = 375
CD = 30m then so x-coordinate of D will be 30.
y = -302 / (375) = -2.4
so height at 30m from midpoint will be 15-2.4 = 12.6
