Answered by oobleck
using your numbers, we have
b = 6400+800 = 7200
a = 6400+5400 = 11800
So, just plug that into the standard equation for an ellipse, with center at (0,0)

X^2/11800 + Y^2/7200 =1
Answered by Yordanos
a-c=7200
a+c=11800
Therefore a=9500
9500-c=7200
c=2300
b=√(a^2-c^2)
b=9217
Then you can drive the equation using the standard formula
