Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) 216 sq units

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The equation of the parabola is \(y^2 = 36x\). Comparing this with the standard form \(y^2 = 4ax\), we get \(4a = 36\), which implies \(a = 9\). The latus rectum of the parabola is the line \(x = a = 9\). The points of intersection of the parabola \(y^2 = 36x\) and the latus…
