The formula to calculate the Focal Parameter of Ellipse is:
\[ p = \frac{b^2}{c} \]
The Focal Parameter of an Ellipse is the shortest distance between any of the foci and the corresponding directrix of the Hyperbola. The Semi Minor Axis of an Ellipse is half of the length of the longest chord which is perpendicular to the line joining the foci of the Ellipse. The Linear Eccentricity of an Ellipse is the distance from the center to any of the foci of the Ellipse.
Let's assume the following values:
Using the formula:
\[ p = \frac{6^2}{8} = 4.5 \]
The Focal Parameter of the Ellipse is 4.5 meters.
