`P Q` is a normal chord of the parabola `y^2=4a x` at `P ,A` being the vertex of the parabola. Through `P ,` a line is down parallel to `A Q` meeting the x-axis at `Rdot` Then the line length of `A R` is equal to the length of the latus rectum equal to the focal distance of the point `P` equal to twice the focal distance of the point `P` equal to the distance of the point `P` from the directrix.
