The standard equation of ellipse is,
⇒a2x2+b2y2=1.
According to the question, the minor axis is equal to the distance between the foci.
⇒2b=2ae and ⇒a2b2=10⇒b2=5a⇒b=ae⇒b2=a2e2⇒b2=a2(1−a2b2)[∵e=1−a2b2]⇒b2=a2−b2⇒a2=2b2⇒a2=10a(∵b2=5a)⇒a=10⇒b2=5a
∴b2=50
Substituting the values of ' a ' and ' b ' in the equation of an ellipse, we get:
⇒100x2+50y2=1∴x2+2y2=100.
This is the required equation of the ellipse.
