The area of the region bounded by the parabola y² = 4ax and its latus rectum is:
- A. (8/3)a² sq units
- B. (4/3)a² sq units
- C. (2/3)a² sq units
- D. (8/3)a sq units
Answer: A) (8/3)a² sq units
Explanation: Latus rectum is x = a. Area = 2 × ∫[0 to a] √(4ax) dx = 4√a ∫[0 to a] √x dx = 4√a × (2/3)a^(3/2) = (8/3)a² sq units.
