Correct answer: 55

  1. Write the standard facts for each hyperbola

For a hyperbola of the form x2a2−y2b2=1,\frac{x^2}{a^2}-\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1,a2x2​−b2y2​=1, we use:

  • Eccentricity: e2=1+b2a2e^2=1+\frac{b^2}{a^2}e2=1+a2b2​
  • Length of latus rectum: L=2b2aL=\frac{2b^2}{a}L=a2b2​
  • Length of transverse axis: 2a2a2a

For a hyperbola of the form y2B2−x2A2=1,\frac{y^2}{B^2}-\frac{x^2}{A^2}=1,B2y2​−A2x2​=1, its transverse axis is along the yyy-axis, and similarly:

  • e2=1+A2B2e^2=1+\frac{A^2}{B^2}e2=1+B2A2​
  • Length of latus rectum: L=2A2BL=\frac{2A^2}{B}L=B2A2​
  • Length of transverse axis: 2B2B2B

Here, H1:x2a2−y2b2=1H_1:\frac{x^2}{a^2}-\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1H1​:a2x2​−b2y2​=1 and H2:−x2A2+y2B2=1  ⟺  y2B2−x2A2=1.H_2:-\frac{x^2}{A^2}+\frac{y^2}{B^2}=1\iff \frac{y^2}{B^2}-\frac{x^2}{A^2}=1.H2​:−A2x2​+B2y2​=1⟺B2y2​−A2x2​=1.


  1. Use the data for H1H_1H1​

Given:

  • latus rectum of H1H_1H1​ is 15215\sqrt2152​
  • eccentricity e1=52e_1=\sqrt{\frac52}e1​=25​​

Since e12=1+b2a2,e_1^2=1+\frac{b^2}{a^2},e12​=1+a2b2​, we get 52=1+b2a2\frac52=1+\frac{b^2}{a^2}25​=1+a2b2​ ⇒b2a2=32\Rightarrow \frac{b^2}{a^2}=\frac32⇒a2b2​=23​ ⇒b2=32a2.\Rightarrow b^2=\frac32 a^2.⇒b2=23​a2.

Now use latus rectum: 2b2a=152.\frac{2b^2}{a}=15\sqrt2.a2b2​=152​. Substitute b2=32a2b^2=\frac32 a^2b2=23​a2: 2⋅32a2a=152\frac{2\cdot \frac32 a^2}{a}=15\sqrt2a2⋅23​a2​=152​ 3a=1523a=15\sqrt23a=152​ a=52.a=5\sqrt2.a=52​.

Hence transverse axis length of H1H_1H1​ is 2a=102.2a=10\sqrt2.2a=102​.


  1. Use the product of transverse axes

Given product of lengths of transverse axes is 10010.100\sqrt{10}.10010​.

For H1H_1H1​, transverse axis length is 10210\sqrt2102​. For H2H_2H2​, transverse axis length is 2B2B2B.

So, (102)(2B)=10010(10\sqrt2)(2B)=100\sqrt{10}(102​)(2B)=10010​ 202 B=1001020\sqrt2\,B=100\sqrt{10}202​B=10010​ B=10010202=55.B=\frac{100\sqrt{10}}{20\sqrt2}=5\sqrt5.B=202​10010​​=55​.

Thus, B=55.B=5\sqrt5.B=55​.


  1. Use latus rectum for H2H_2H2​

Given latus rectum of H2H_2H2​ is 12512\sqrt5125​. For y2B2−x2A2=1,\frac{y^2}{B^2}-\frac{x^2}{A^2}=1,B2y2​−A2x2​=1, length of latus rectum is 2A2B.\frac{2A^2}{B}.B2A2​.

Hence, 2A2B=125.\frac{2A^2}{B}=12\sqrt5.B2A2​=125​. Substitute B=55B=5\sqrt5B=55​: 2A255=125\frac{2A^2}{5\sqrt5}=12\sqrt555​2A2​=125​ 2A2=125⋅55=12⋅25=3002A^2=12\sqrt5\cdot 5\sqrt5=12\cdot 25=3002A2=125​⋅55​=12⋅25=300 A2=150.A^2=150.A2=150.

Also, B2=(55)2=125.B^2=(5\sqrt5)^2=125.B2=(55​)2=125.


  1. Find e2e_2e2​

For H2H_2H2​, e22=1+A2B2.e_2^2=1+\frac{A^2}{B^2}.e22​=1+B2A2​. So, e22=1+150125=1+65=115.e_2^2=1+\frac{150}{125}=1+\frac65=\frac{11}{5}.e22​=1+125150​=1+56​=511​.

Therefore, 25e22=25⋅115=55.25e_2^2=25\cdot \frac{11}{5}=55.25e22​=25⋅511​=55.


  1. Final answer

55\boxed{55}55​

This matches the stored correct answer.
