\begin{aligned} & \text { L.K. }=\frac{2 b^2}{a}=\frac{1}{2} \\ & 4 b^2=a \\ & \text { Elipse } \frac{(x-1)^2}{a^2}+\frac{y^2}{b^2}=1 \\ & m_{b_1 k_1}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \\ & \frac{b}{a}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3}} \\ & 3 b^2=a^2 e^2=a^2-b^2 \\ & 4 b^2=a^2 \\ & \text { From (i) and }(i i) \\ & a=a^2 \\ & \therefore a=1 \\ & b^2=\frac{1}{4} \\ & ((2 a)+(2 b))^2=9 \end{aligned}
