Example 2 Suppose the foci of an ellipse are the same as those of the hyperbola 20, and it is tangent to the line . Find the standard equation of this ellipse.
Solution
Solution: It is easy to know that the two foci of the ellipse are , , and the lengths of the semi-major axis and semi-minor axis are and respectively,
the line is tangent to the ellipse,
, ,
the equation of the required ellipse is .
