easy

Eccentricity of the ellipse $9{x^2} + 25{y^2} = 225$ is

A

$\frac{3}{5}$

B

$\frac{4}{5}$

C

$\frac{9}{{25}}$

D

$\frac{{\sqrt {34} }}{5}$

Solution

(b) The ellipse is $\frac{{{x^2}}}{{25}} + \frac{{{y^2}}}{9} = 1$

$\therefore e = \sqrt {1 – \frac{{{b^2}}}{{{a^2}}}} $

$i.e.$, $\sqrt {1 – \frac{9}{{25}}} = \frac{4}{5}$.
