The Shape of a Parabola

© Copyright 2003, Jim Loy

Here is a parabola. You can adjust its size by moving the red point, but all parabolas are the same shape. The portion in the box remains the same shape as well; the box changes size along with the parabola.

Please enable Java for an interactive construction (with Cinderella).

The above Java interactive demonstration was created with Cinderella (a geometry program).
