If the latusrectum of anellipse is equal to half of minor axis, find its eccentricity.A. `1/2`B. `sqrt3`C. `sqrt3//2`D. `1/sqrt2` |
|
Answer» Correct Answer - C Let the equation of ellipse be `x^(2)/a^(2)+y^(2)/b^(2)=1` `"Length of minor axis = 2b"` `" and length of latus rectum "=(2b^(2))/a` According to the equation, `(2b^(2))/a=brArr2b=arArr4b^(2)=a^(2)` Now, eccentricity of ellipse `e=sqrt(a^(2)-b^(2))/a` `e=sqrt(4b^(2)-b^(2))/(2b)=(sqrt3b)/(2b)=sqrt3/2` `rArr" "e=sqrt3/2` |
