Answer:
x = 17
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the triangles are similar then corresponding angles are congruent.
∠ I = ∠P ← substitute values and solve for x
3x + 4 = 72 - x ( add x to both sides )
4x + 4 = 72 ( subtract 4 from both sides )
4x = 68 ( divide both sides by 4 )
x = 17
The distance between any point (x0,y0) on the parabola and the focus (m,n) is the same as the distance between (x0,y0) and the directrix line ax+by+c. The distance between (x0,y0) and focus (a,b) is \sqrt((x-m)^2+(y-n)^2). The distance between (x0,y0) and ax+by+c is |ax0+by0+c|/\sqrt(m^2+n^2). Equalize these two expressions.
