Using the given information we found that the equation of the parabola is:
y = (-4/9)*(x - 3)^2 + 5
And its graph is below.
<h3>How to get the equation of the parabola?</h3>
For a parabola with vertex (h, k), the equation is:
y = a*(x - h)^2 + k
Here the vertex is (3, 5), so the equation is:
y = a*(x - 3)^2 + 5
And the y-intercept is y = 1, this means that:
1 = a*(0 - 3)^2 + 5
1 = a*9 + 5
1 - 5 = a*9
-4/9 = a
So the parabola is:
y = (-4/9)*(x - 3)^2 + 5
And its graph is below.

Consider the attached figure. If AB has length 1, then BC has length sin(15°) and CD (the altitude of triangle ABC) has length sin(15°)·cos(15°).
By the double angle formula for sin(α), ...
... sin(2α) = 2sin(α)cos(α)
Rearranging, this gives
... sin(α)·cos(α) = sin(2α)/2
We have
... CD = sin(15°)·cos(15°) = sin(2·15°)/2
... CD = sin(30°)/2 = (1/2)/2 = 1/4
That is, the altitude, CD, is 1/4 the hypotenuse, AB, of triangle ABC.
