Question

. If the eccentricity of an ellipse is 5/8 and the distance between its foci is 10, then find latus rectum of the ellipse.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Length of minor axis = 2b e = 5/8 Foci = (±ae,0) Distance between foci = 10 (Given) 2ae = 10 2 x a x 5/8 = 10 a = 8 b2 = a2 (1 - e2) Read more on Sarthaks.com - https://www.sarthaks.com/898619/the-eccentricity-ellipse-and-the-distance-between-foci-then-find-latus-rectum-the-ellipse
