Question:medium
If the eccentricity and the length of latus rectum of an ellipse are, respectively, \(\frac{1}{5}\) and \(\frac{48}{5}\), then the length of the major axis of the ellipse is
If the eccentricity and the length of latus rectum of an ellipse are, respectively, \(\frac{1}{5}\) and \(\frac{48}{5}\), then the length of the major axis of the ellipse is
Show Hint
Always start by expressing \(b^2\) in terms of \(a\) using the latus rectum formula. This usually leads to a direct linear equation for \(a\) when substituted into the eccentricity formula.
