eccentricity (x^2)/(100)+(y^2)/(36)=1

eccentricity

\frac{4}{5}

Decimal

0.8

Solution steps

= \frac{a ^{2} - b ^{2}}{a}

Calculate ellipse properties

\frac{x ^{2}}{100} + \frac{y ^{2}}{36} = 1 :

Ellipse with center

(h, k) = (0, 0), a = 10, b = 6

= \frac{1 0 ^{2} - 6 ^{2}}{10}

\frac{1 0 ^{2} - 6 ^{2}}{10} = \frac{4}{5}

= \frac{4}{5}
