The vertex of the given parabola is  \mathrm {\left(a^2, 0\right).}
When  \mathrm {x=0, y^2+4\left(0-a^2\right)=0 \Rightarrow y= \pm 2 a} 
The point of intersection of the given parabola and the y-axis are \mathrm {(0, \pm 2 a).} 

 \therefore Area of the triangle =\mathrm {\frac{1}{2} \cdot 4 a \cdot a^2} 

\mathrm {{\Rightarrow \quad 250=2 a^3 \Rightarrow a=5}}
