Find the distance between the directrix of the ellipse x^2 +36 + y^2 +20=1 

Dear Student,
Your query is seem to be incorrect. However, I am providing you the most relevant solution below,

Considering that we are given with,x236+y220=1Now, Comparing it with the standard equation of ellipse,x2a2+y2b2=1,we get,a2=36a=±6and,b2=20b=±25now,Eccetricity 'e'=a2-b2a=36-206=166e=46=23Now,the distance between the directrices is given by= ae=623=6×32=9

Hope, you will find this answer helpful.
