A rod AB of length `15` cm rests in between two coordinate axes is such a way that the end point A lies on x-axis and end Point B lies on y-axis. A point P (x,y) is taken on the rod in such a way that `AP=6cm` . Show that the locus of P is an ellipse.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
