Clearly you have an ellipse with semi-axes
a = 5
b = 4
So, c=3
The latus rectum is the line perpendicular to the semi-major axis, through a focus.
The semi-latus rectum is b^2/a = 16/5
a = 5
b = 4
So, c=3
The latus rectum is the line perpendicular to the semi-major axis, through a focus.
The semi-latus rectum is b^2/a = 16/5

x^2/25 +y^2/16=1
y=3 given
then x=3.3m
y=3 given
then x=3.3m
