10-2. Parabola, Ellipse, Hyperbola
easy
The distance between the foci of an ellipse is 16 and eccentricity is $\frac{1}{2}$. Length of the major axis of the ellipse is
A
$8$
B
$64$
C
$16$
D
$32$
Solution
(d) Given, distance between the foci $ = 2ae = 16$ and eccentricity of ellipse $(e)$ $ = 1/2$.
We know that length of the major axis of the ellipse $ = 2a = \frac{{2ae}}{e} = \frac{{16}}{{1/2}} = 32.$
