Note the two triangles HLK and HFG.

Because triangles have 180 degrees, we can deduce that angle LHK is 75 degrees.

So the corner of H has an angle of 75 degrees for both triangles, HLK and HFG.

We also see that HF is double that of HL and HG is double that of HK.

That means we have two sides that are proportional to each other and their included angle is congruent. Thus, by the SAS similarity theorem, triangles HLK and HFG are similar.

If they are similar, then angle HLK is congruent to angle HFG.

Since angle HFG is 80 degrees, that makes angle HLK 80 degrees as well.

Writing an equation of a probably given the vertex and focus

White raven [17]

The equation of the vertical parabola in vertex form is written as

$y=\frac{1}{4p}(x-h)^2+k$

Where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex and p is the focal distance.

The directrix of a parabola is a line which every point of the parabola is equally distant to this line and the focus of the parabola. The vertex is located between the focus and the directrix, therefore, the distance between the y-coordinate of the vertex and the directrix represents the focal distance.
