(a)
\Vertex of parabola is .
Parabola axis is .
Latus rectum is units.
Lactus rectum is a line passes through the focus.
\Here Parabola axis is , parabola open horizontally.
The equation of parabola is .
Substitute ,
and
in the above equation.
Thus, the equation of parabola is .
Focus point of parabola is .
(b)
\Graph :
\Graph the equation of parabola .
Observe the graph :
\The distance between the points and
of the first triangle is
.
The distance between the points and
of the second triangle is
.
so, the length of adjacent sides of two right angle are same.
\The two right angle triangle have the common opposite side.
\Find length of the hypotenuse of the first and second right angle.
\The distance between the points : .
and
is
The length of the hypotenuse of the first right triangle is .
and
is
The length of hypotenuse of the second right triangle is .
The length of the hypotenuse of the first and second right angle are same.
\Thus, the triangles are isosceles triangle.
\(a) The equation of parabola is .
(b) The triangles are isosceles triangle.
