Program to find the length of Latus Rectum of a Hyperbola

Given two integers A and B, representing the length of the semi-major and semi-minor axes of a Hyperbola, the task is to find the length of the latus rectum of the hyperbola.

Examples:

Input: A = 3, B = 2
Output: 2.66666

Input: A = 6, B = 3
Output: 3

Approach: The Latus Rectum of a hyperbola is the focal chord perpendicular to the major axis and the length of the Latus Rectum is equal to (Length of the minor axis )2/(length of major axis).

Follow the steps below to solve the given problem:

  • Find the length of the major axis of the hyperbola and store it in a variable, say major.
  • Find the length of the minor axis of the hyperbola and store it in a variable, say minor.
  • After completing the above steps, print the value of (minor*minor)/major as the resultant length of the Latus Rectum.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++




// C++ program for the above approach
 
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
 
// Function to calculate the length of
// the latus rectum of a hyperbola
double lengthOfLatusRectum(double A,
                           double B)
{
    // Store the length of major axis
    double major = 2.0 * A;
 
    // Store the length of minor axis
    double minor = 2.0 * B;
 
    // Store the length of the
    // latus rectum
    double latus_rectum = (minor * minor)
                          / major;
 
    // Return the length of the
    // latus rectum
    return latus_rectum;
}
 
// Driver Code
int main()
{
    double A = 3.0, B = 2.0;
    cout << lengthOfLatusRectum(A, B);
 
    return 0;
}


Java




// Java program for the above approach
import java.io.*;
 
class GFG{
   
// Function to calculate the length of
// the latus rectum of a hyperbola
static double lengthOfLatusRectum(double A,
                                  double B)
{
     
    // Store the length of major axis
    double major = 2.0 * A;
 
    // Store the length of minor axis
    double minor = 2.0 * B;
 
    // Store the length of the
    // latus rectum
    double latus_rectum = (minor * minor) / major;
 
    // Return the length of the
    // latus rectum
    return latus_rectum;
}
 
// Driver Code
public static void main(String[] args)
{
    double A = 3.0, B = 2.0;
     
    System.out.println(lengthOfLatusRectum(A, B));
}}

def lengthOfLatusRectum(A,B):
     
    # Store the length of major axis
    major = 2.0 * A
     
    # Store the length of minor axis   
    minor = 2.0 * B
     
    # Store the length of the
    # latus rectum
