If in a hyperbola, the distance between the foci is 10 and transverse axis has length 8, then the length of its latus rectum is
Options
- A9
- B9 2
- C32 3
- D64 3
Correct answer
B. 9 2
Step-by-step solution
Given, 2 a e=10 and 2 a=8 a e=5, a=4 In hyperbola, aligned & & (a e)^2 & =a^2+b^2 & & 25 & =16+b^2 & & b^2 & =9 aligned Length of latus rectum = 2 b^2 a = 2 9 4 = 9 2
