I need to find the equation for this parabola

A satellite dish is shaped like a paraboloid of revolution. This means that it can be formed by rotating a parabola around its axis of symmetry. The receiver is to be located at the focus. If the dish is 72 feet across at its opening and 6 feet deep at its center, where should the receiver be placed?
