Correct answer: 55
- Write the standard facts for each hyperbola
For a hyperbola of the form we use:
- Eccentricity:
- Length of latus rectum:
- Length of transverse axis:
For a hyperbola of the form its transverse axis is along the -axis, and similarly:
- Length of latus rectum:
- Length of transverse axis:
Here, and
- Use the data for
Given:
- latus rectum of is
- eccentricity
Since we get
Now use latus rectum: Substitute :
Hence transverse axis length of is
- Use the product of transverse axes
Given product of lengths of transverse axes is
For , transverse axis length is . For , transverse axis length is .
So,
Thus,
- Use latus rectum for
Given latus rectum of is . For length of latus rectum is
Hence, Substitute :
Also,
- Find
For , So,
Therefore,
- Final answer
This matches the stored correct answer.
