Polar arc length is given by:
I assume you are integrating from 0 to
This integral can be a little tricky. As a matter of fact, most calculators grunt trying to do it, but it ain't that bad if we use some tricks.
Now, let
We end up with something easy:
Resub:
Let's integrate from 0 to Pi and multiply by 2 because using 2Pi presents a conundrum. Do you see why?
There it is.

Complete the square.
Now, can you finish and get into the form of an ellipse? Just one more step.
Though, you can easily see the center coordinates as it is now.

As with the ellipse, complete the square.
The standard form of this parabola is, where (h,k) are the vertex coordinates.
It is a parabola opening to the right symmetric about y=3. The directrix is at x=1/2.
The focus can be found by using.
