उत्तर
Given equation of the parabola is x2 = 12y.
Comparing this equation with x2 = 4by, we get
4b = 12
∴ b = 3
∴ The co-ordinates of focus are S(0, b), i.e., S(0, 3)
End points of the latus rectum are L(2b, b) and L′(– 2b, b),
i.e., L(6, 3) and L′(– 6, 3)
Also l(LL′) = length of latus rectum
= 4b
= 12
l(OS) = b = 3
Area of the ΔOLL′ = `1/2 xx l("LL"^′) xx l("OS")`
= `1/2 xx 12 xx 3`
∴ Area of the ΔOLL’ = 18 sq. units.
