CONICS - Hyperbola Construct a hyperbola when the distance

between the focus and directrix is 40 mm

and the eccentricity 4/3. Draw a tangent and
normal at any point on the hyperbola.
CONICS - Hyperbola Given:
Distance between Focus and Directrix = 40 mm
Eccentricity, E = 4/3
CONICS - Hyperbola Given:
Distance between Focus and Directrix = 40 mm
Eccentricity, E = 4/3

Directrix
• Draw the Directrix and
an axis perpendicular
to it.
• Mark Focus, F on the
axis at a distance
40 mm from Directrix.

Focus
CONICS - Hyperbola Given:
Distance between Focus and Directrix = 40 mm
Eccentricity, E = 4/3

• E = f/d = 4/3
• Divide the distance
D
between Directrix and
focus into 7 equal parts
• Mark a line parallel to
Directrix at 3 parts (4
parts from F) away
from it.

F
CONICS - Hyperbola Given:
Distance between Focus and Directrix = 40 mm
Eccentricity, E = 4/3

• E = f/d = 4/3
• Divide the distance
D
between Directrix and
focus into 7 equal parts
• Mark a line parallel to
Directrix at 3 parts (4
parts from F) away
from it.
• Mark a point on this
line at a distance of 4
F
parts from the axis line.
