<u><em></em></u><u><em></em></u>
<u><em></em></u><u><em></em></u>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u><em>Step(i):-</em></u>
Given b = 3 and hypotenuse c = 5
Given ΔABC is a right angle triangle
By using pythagoras theorem
c² = a² + b²
⇒ a² = c² - b²
⇒ a² = 5²-3²
=25 - 9
a² = 16
⇒ a = √16 = 4
The sides of right angle triangle a = 4 ,b = 3 and c = 5
<u><em>Step(ii):-</em></u>

The distance from the center to where the foci are located exists 8 units.
<h3>How to determine the distance from the center?</h3>The formula associated with the focus of an ellipse exists given as;
c² = a² − b²
Where c exists the distance from the focus to the center.
a exists the distance from the center to a vertex,
the major axis exists 10 units.
b exists the distance from the center to a co-vertex, the minor axis exists 6 units
c² = a² − b²
c² = 10² - 6²
c² = 100 - 36
c² = 64
c = 8
Therefore, the distance from the center to where the foci are located exists 8 units.
