20 POINTS ASAP ALGEBRA II

Answer 1

The curve described described here is an ellipse with eccentricity $e=\dfrac45$, the ratio between the distance from the given focus F(4, 0) to any point Q along the directrix $x=\dfrac{25}4$. Use this info to find the lengths of the semimajor and -minor axes, $a$ and $b$. Then the area of the ellipse is $\pi ab$.
