let C be origin.  eq. of parabola:   y=h−b−(x^2 /c)  let P (acos θ, bsin θ)  (dy/dx)∣_P = −((bcos θ)/(asin θ )) = −((2x)/c) =−((2acos θ)/c)  ⇒    a^2 = ((bc)/(2sin θ))     ....(i)  bsin θ = h−b−((a^2 cos^2 θ)/c)  using (i) herein     bsin θ=h−b−((bcos^2 θ)/(2sin θ))  ⇒  2bsin^2 θ=2hsin θ−2bsin θ−bcos^2 θ  ⇒ b(sin^2 θ+2sin θ+1)=2hsin θ  ⇒  b=((2hsin θ)/((1+sin θ)^2 ))     and using (i)  ⇒  a^2 =((ch)/((1+sin θ)^2 ))  ⇒  a=((√(ch))/(1+sin θ))     ⇒   A=πab = ((2πh(√(ch))sin θ)/((1+sin θ)^3 ))   .....(ii)  let  S= ((sin θ)/((1+sin θ)^3 ))  (dS/dθ)=0   ⇒  cos θ(1+sin θ)^3 =3sin θcos θ(1+sin θ)^2   ⇒  1+sin θ = 3sin θ  or     sin θ = 1/2  ⇒ S = (4/(27))     ⇒    A_(max) = ((8πh(√(ch)))/(27)) .  (parametric isn′t wrong either!)
