A focus of an ellipse is at the origin. The directrix is the line x =4 and the eccentricity is 1/2 Then the length of the semi-major axis is

If (2,4) and (10,10) are the ends of a latus rectum of an ellipse with the eccentricity 1/2 , then the length of semi-major axis is:

Statement 1 : The area of the ellipse 2x^2+3y^2=6 is more than the area of the circle x^2+y^2-2x+4y+4=0 . Statement 2 : The length f the semi-major axis of an ellipse is more that the radius of the circle.

In the following, find the coordinates of the foci, the vertices, the length of major axis, the minor axis, the eccentricity and the length of the latus rectum of the ellipse. x^2/4+y^2/25=1

In the following, find the coordinates of the foci, the vertices, the length of major axis, the minor axis, the eccentricity and the length of the latus rectum of the ellipse. 36x^2 + 4y^2 = 144

In the following, find the coordinates of the foci, the vertices, the length of major axis, the minor axis, the eccentricity and the length of the latus rectum of the ellipse. 4x^2 + 9y^2 = 36
