The length of the latus rectum of the ellipse $\frac{{{x^2}}}{{36}} + \frac{{{y^2}}}{{49}} = 1$

A

$98/6$

B

$72/7$

C

$72/14$

D

$98/12$

Solution

(b) Here ${a^2} = 36$, ${b^2} = 49$. Since $b > a$,

so the length of the latus rectum $ = \frac{{2{a^2}}}{b} = 2 \times \frac{{36}}{7} = \frac{{72}}{7}$.
