Distance between foci is 8 and distance ...

Distance between foci is 8 and distance between directrices is 6 of hyperbola, then length of latusrectum is

A

`4sqrt3`

B

`4/(sqrt3)`

C

`3/(sqrt4)`

D

None of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

Given, `2ae=8and (2a)/(e)=6rArr2a=6e`
`therefore e^(2)=8/6rArre=2/sqrt3`
`rArr4/sqrt3a=8rArra=2sqrt3 and b^(2)=a^(2)(e^(2)-1)=12(4/3-1)=4`
`therefore length of latusrectum=(2b^(2))/(a)=(2x4)/(2sqrt(3))=4/sqrt3`
