The below pictures show a few natural examples of parabolic shape, which is
represented by a quadratic polynomial. A parabolic arch is an arch in the shape of a
parabola. In structures, their curve represents an efficient method of load distribution and
can be found in bridges and in architecture in a variety of forms.
