A circle has the same centre as an ellipse and passes through the foci $F_1 \& F_2$  of the ellipse, such that the two curves intersect in $4$  points. Let $'P'$  be any one of their point of intersection. If the major axis of the ellipse is $17 $ and  the area of the triangle $PF_1F_2$ is $30$, then the distance between the foci is :
