A man running round a race-course notes that the sum of the distance of two flag-posts from him is always $10\ metres$ and the distance between the flag-posts is $8\ metres$. The area of the path he encloses in square metres is
$15\ \pi$
$12\ \pi$
$18\ \pi$
$8\ \pi$
The minimum area of a triangle formed by any tangent to the ellipse $\frac{{{x^2}}}{{16}} + \frac{{{y^2}}}{{81}} = 1$ and the coordinate axes is
If the distance between the foci of an ellipse is $6$ and the distance between its directrices is $12$, then the length of its latus rectum is
The line $y=x+1$ meets the ellipse $\frac{x^{2}}{4}+\frac{y^{2}}{2}=1$ at two points $P$ and $Q$. If $r$ is the radius of the circle with $PQ$ as diameter then $(3 r )^{2}$ is equal to
Let $P$ be a variable point on the ellipse $x^2 + 3y^2 = 3$ , then the maximum perpendicular distance of $P$ from the line $x -y = 10$ is
If the lines $x -2y = 12$ is tangent to the ellipse $\frac{{{x^2}}}{{{a^2}}} + \frac{{{y^2}}}{{{b^2}}} = 1$ at the point $\left( {3,\frac{-9}{2}} \right)$, then the length of the latus rectum of the ellipse is
