The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the length of the latus rectum of the parabola given its focus and two tangents. Here’s a step-by-step solution: ### Step 1: Identify the Focus and Tangents The focus of the parabola is given as \( S(1, 2) \). The tangents are given by the equations \( x - y = 0 \) (which simplifies to \( y = x \)) and \( x + y = 0 \) (which simplifies to \( y = -x \)).
