Answer:

The main suspension cables between the towers of the Golden Gate Bridge form a parabola that can be modeled by the quadratic function: Y = 0.000112x2 + 220 where x is the horizontal distance from the middle of the bridge to the towers and y is the vertical distance from the water level to the bridge deck.

Explanation:

So... yes.
