Cross section of a Nuclear cooling tow...

Cross section of a Nuclear cooling towar is in the shape of a hyperbola with equation ` x^(2)/30^(2) - y^(2)/44^(2) = 1`. The towar is 150 m tall and the distance from the top of the towar to the centre of the hyperbola is half the distance from the base of the towar to the centre of the hyperbola. Find the diameter of the top and base of the tower.
