The equation of the parabola is x^2 = 4ay. Find the length of the latus rectum of the parabola and the length of the parabolic arc intercepted by the latus rectum. (a) Length of latus rectum: 4a; Length of the intercepted arc: 4.29a (b) Length of latus rectum: -4a; Length of the intercepted arc: 4.39a (c) Length of latus rectum: -4a; Length of the intercepted arc: 4.49a (d) Length of latus rectum: 4a; Length of the intercepted arc: 4.59a
