A segment of a parabola is an area bounded by the parabola and a line perpendicular to the axis of the parabola. The intersection of this perpendicular line and the axis is of distance b to the vertex. What is the area of this segment? O (4/3)*ab (8/3)*b*sqrt(ab) O (2/3)*ab O (4/3)*a*sqrt(ab) None of the above
