The height of a triangle is 5 more than double the base length. If the height of the triangle is 74mm, what is the base length of the triangle

height = 5+2xbase

74 = 5+2xbase

subtract 5 from both sides

69 = 2xbase

divide both sides by 2

34.5mm = base length

the distance from any point on the parabola to the focus is the exact same as the distance from that point to the directrix.

if you could provide answer choices that might allow me to answer the question easier if my above answer isn't an option! (:
