The rectangle or oblong method of drawing a parabola divides

  • A.a circumscribing circle into equal arcs
  • B.the latus rectum into four equal segments
  • C.the half base and the height into equal parts
  • D.the axis into parts proportional to the eccentricity

Answer: C

Correct answer: the half base and the height into equal parts

Divide the half base and the height into the same number of equal parts, join each division of the height to the vertex and draw a vertical from the corresponding division of the base; the intersections lie on the parabola. Repeating on the other side completes the curve, and the construction needs no focus or directrix.
