The graph of an equation
sqrt((x-3)^2+(y+4)^2) + sqrt((x+5)^2+(y-8)^2)=20
is an ellipse. What is the distance between its foci?
\(\sqrt{(x-3)^2+(y+4)^2} + \sqrt{(x+5)^2+(y-8)^2}=20\\~\\ \)
Sorry, i have no idea.
Here you can see the simplified version

Thanks for the help! I got the answer to the problem after a lot of work.
