= 144
Solution:
Given equation of ellipse is = 144 i.e., = 1 ⇒ = 1 Clearly, 36 > 4 The equation of ellipse in standard form is = 1 ∴ = 36 ⇒ a = 6 and = 4 ⇒ b = 2 We know that c = ⇒ c = = = ∴ Coordinates of foci are (0, ± c) i.e. (0, ± 4 ) Coordinates of vertices are (0, ± a) i.e. (0, ± 6). Length of major axis = 2a = 2 × 6 = 12 Length of minor axis = 2b = 2 × 2 = 4 Eccentricity (e) = = = Length of latus rectum = = =
