The semi-latus rectum of a parabola equals the distance between which two things?
AVertex and directrix
BFocus and the directrix
CFocus and the vertex
DTwo ends of the chord
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. Focus and the directrix
For a parabola the semi-latus rectum equals twice the focal length, which is exactly the focus-to-directrix distance.
