The profile of the cables on a suspension bridge may be modeled by a parabola. The central span of the bridge is 1250 m long and 137 m high. The parabola y=0.00035x2 gives a good fit to the shape of the cables, where ∣x∣≤625, and x and y are measured in meters. Approximate the length of the cables that stretch between the tops of the two towers. The length of the cables is approximately meters. (Round to the nearest whole number.)
