Steps are given to find focus for a parabola. Arrange the steps.i.Draw a perpendicular bisector EF to BP, Intersecting the axis at a point F.ii.Then F is the focus of parabola.iii.Mark any point P on the parabola and draw a perpendicular PA to the axis.iv.Mark a point B on the on the axis such that BV = VA (V is vertex of parabola). Join B and P.

Geometrical Construction topics include: Parallel & perpendicular lines construction, drawing regular polygons and tangents, ellipse construction, parabola and hyperbola construction, cycloidal curves and spiral construction. Geometric construction is the process of creating geometric objects using a compass and a straightedge. It is a part of pure geometry, which does not use numbers, formulae, or a coordinate system.  Geometric construction involves drawing lines, line segments, shapes, circles, and other figures accurately using a ruler, a compass, or a protractor.  Related...
