Find the eccentricity, coordinates of foci, length of the latus - rectum of the following ellipse:

9x2 + 25y2 = 225

Given the equation of the ellipse is 9x2 + 25y2 = 225.


We need to find the eccentricity, coordinates of foci and length of latus rectum.



Given equation can be rewritten as


.


We know for the ellipse (a2>b2)



Coordinates of foci (±ae,0)


Length of latus rectum =


Here a2 = 25 and b2 = 9, a2>b2







Length of latus rectum (L) =



The eccentricity is , foci are and length of the latus rectum is .
