Answer:

the third option

Step-by-step explanation:

Our equation is

{y}^{2}  = 36(x - 10)

Equation of a vertical parabola is

( {y - k)}^{2}  = 4p(x  - h)

where (h,k) is the center

The focus is

(h+p, k)

Equation of directrix is

x= h-p,

Here the center is (10,0)

Next, we factor out 4 in the original equation

4(9)

So we have

{y}^{2}  = 4(9)(x - 10)

So our p=9,

So our focus is

(10+9,0) or (19,0)

The third option is the answer

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

324

Step-by-step explanation:

L = 4W

P = 2L + 2W = 90

---

2L + 2W = 90

2(4W) + 2W = 90

8W + 2W = 90

10W = 90

---

W = 9

L = 36

---

 

A = 324
