Parabola and the minimum area

Geometry Level 2

As shown above, on the coordinate plane, the parabola has equation: y 2 = 2 p x ( p > 0 ) y^2=2px (p>0) . Line A B AB and C D CD are perpendicular to each other and both pass through F F , the focus of the parabola.

If S A C F + S B D F S_{\triangle ACF}+S_{\triangle BDF} has the minimum value 8 8 , then find the value of p p .

Note: S A C F , S B D F S_{\triangle ACF}, S_{\triangle BDF} denote the area of A C F , B D F \triangle ACF, \triangle BDF .


The answer is 2.
