The height of the handrail of a small bridge can be modelled by the equation f(x)=0.267x0.00889x2 where fx is the height of the handrail above the walkway in metres, and x is the horizontal distance from the start of the bridge in metres. The local authority wants to put a horizontal line of decorative lights at a height of 1 metre above the walkway. The two ends of the lights will be attached to the handrail. Find the coordinates of the points where the lights are attached to the handrail and the lengths of the lights needed. (Write the answer in metres and up to one decimal place.)
