E= 116 joules
That is what I think the answer is
Answer
Find out the how long is woman shadow .
To prove
Let us assume that the height = x
Let us assume that the shadow = y
(As shadow increase with the increase in the height.)
x = ky
Where k is constant of proportionality.
As given
A 10 ft tall statue standing next to a woman casts an 18 ft shadow.
10 = k × 18
As given
If the woman is 5 ft tall .
Let us assume that the shadow of woman be s .
Put in the proprtionality equation .
5 = k × s
Compare the value of k .
s = 9 ft
Therefore the shadow of the woman be 9 ft .
Option (C) is correct .
As you know the directrix and focus. so first of all find the distance 'a.f' shown in the figure. now find the location of the mid point of the line 'a.f' because it's the vertex. half the distance to get the focal length 'a'. now put all the values in the equation given to get the equation of required parabola.
