169{(X-1)2-(Y-3)2}=(5X-12Y+17)2

13{(X-1)2-(Y-3)2}1/2=(5X-12Y+17)

13{(X-1)2-(Y-3)2}1/2=13(5X-12Y+17)/(52+122)1/2

{(X-1)2-(Y-3)2}1/2

.........................             =1                          (ESSENTRICITY OF PARABOLA IS 1 ) THIS IS A GENERAL FORM OF A PARABOLA WITH FOCUS (1,3) AND EQUATION                                                                

(5X-12Y+17)/(52+122)1/2                                              OF DIRECTRIX AS (5X-12Y+17) 

NOW PERPENDICULAR DISTANCE BETWEEN THE FOCUS AND THE DIRECTRIX IS = MODULUS OF [1*5-3*12+17]/{(52+122)1/2  }

DISTANCE =14/13  THEREFORE FROM THE DIAGRAM 2X=14/13       LENGTH OF LATUS RECTUM IS 4X THEREFORE LENGTH=28/13................ANSWER
