Question

What is the length of the latus rectum of a parabola whose equation is x^2=24y?

Answer 1

Answer:

length of latus rectum is 24

Step-by-step explanation:

I can't explain more sorry

Answer 2

Concept:

A parabola is a curve equation in which one point on the curve is equidistant from both a fixed point and a fixed line. The parabola's fixed point is known as the focus, and its fixed line is known as the directrix. A parabola is a locus of any point that is equidistant from both a focus and a directrix.

Find:

The length of the latus rectum.

Solution:

The length of latus rectum is $4b$ if the equation of parabola is $x^2=4by$.

The value of b in $x^2=24y$ is $6$.

Hence, the length of latus rectum is $24$ units.
