![\bf \stackrel{\textit{its directrix}}{x=h\pm\cfrac{a^2}{c}}\implies \stackrel{\textit{using one directrix}}{36.8=h+\cfrac{a^2}{c}}\qquad \begin{cases} h=3\\ k=1\\ c=5 \end{cases}\implies 36.8=3+\cfrac{a^2}{5} \\\\\\ 33.8=\cfrac{a^2}{5}\implies \boxed{169=a^2}\implies 13=a \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill](/tpl/images/0303/6442/bb626.png)
![\bf \stackrel{\textit{recall that }}{c=\sqrt{a^2-b^2}}\implies 5=\sqrt{169-b^2}\implies 5^2=169-b^2\implies 5^2+b^2=169 \\\\\\ b^2=169-5^2\implies \boxed{b^2=144}\implies b=12 \\\\[-0.35em] \rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\ ~\hfill \cfrac{(x-3)^2}{169}+\cfrac{(y-1)^2}{144}=1~\hfill](/tpl/images/0303/6442/a6915.png)
