The line is called the directrix. Here we have a vertical directrix, so a parabola sideways from usual.
Geometry is best done with squared distances. The squared distance from an arbitrary point (x,y) to the vertical line x=2 is

We equate that to the squared distance of (x,y) to the focus (-2,0):



We could call that done. A more standard form might be
Answer:
Case 1:


Case 2:


Case 3: Not possible
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
See attachment for illustration of each case
Required
Find AB and BC
Case 1:
Using Pythagoras theorem in ANB, we have:

This gives:



Take square roots of both sides


To calculate BC, we consider ANC, where:



Collect like terms


Take square roots


So:



Case 2:
Using Pythagoras theorem in ANB, we have:

This gives:


Collect like terms


Take square roots of both sides


To calculate BC, we consider ABC, where:



Collect like terms


Take square roots


Case 3:
This is not possible because in ANC
The hypotenuse AN (24) is less than AC (40)
Theres not enough information to properly answer this.
Lol hey what do you wanna do whatever you wanna do just follow your dreams and I’m bored to
X(.07 )+x = 14.70
x = 13.73831775
