Let the equation of the ellipse be
\(\frac{x^2}{a^2}+\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1, a> b\)
Given, Latus rectum LL′ subtends right angle at the centre.
∴ ∠LOL′ = 90°
Since OF is the median of ΔOLL′
∴ ∠LOF = ∠L'OF = 45°
In the right angles triangles OFL, we have
\(tan45^° = \frac{OF}{LF}\)
Since 0 < e < 1, so
\(e = \frac{-1+\sqrt5}{2}\)
