The coordinates of foci are (±ae,0)
∴ 2ae=2b [given]
⇒ae=b
⇒(ae)2=b2 ...(i)
The length of latus-rectum is 10.
⇒2b2a=10
⇒b2=10a2
⇒b2=5a ...(ii)
Now,
b2=a2(1−e2)
⇒b2=a2−a2e2
⇒b2=a2−b2
⇒2b2=a2
⇒b2=a22
Substituting b2=a22 in equation (ii), we get
a22=5a
⇒a2=10a
⇒a=10
⇒a2=100
Putting a2=100 in b2=a22, we get
b2=1002=50
∴ The required equation of ellipse is
x2a2+y2b2=1
⇒x2100+y250=1
⇒x2+2y2100=1
⇒x2+2y2=100
This is the required equation of the ellipse.
