According to the owners manual for the gateway arch by


According to the Owner's Manual for the Gateway Arch by William Thayer, the construction made use of the following mathematical equation.

y(x) = a + b * cosh( c * x)

a= 693.8597 b= -68.7672 c=.010033

-299.2239

Cross-sections of the arch are equilateral triangles, and (x,y) traces teh path of the centers of mass of the triangles whose area is given by the following equation:

A(x) = d * cosh (c*x)

d = 125.1406

1. Plot this expression and confirm its shape

2. Find the height to the top most point and the width at the base and mid-height.
