The eccentricity of an ellipse, with its centre at the origin, is $${1 \over 2}$$. If one of the directrices is $$x=4$$, then the equation of the ellipse is:
The foci of yhe ellipse $${{{x^2}} \over {16}} + {{{y^2}} \over {{b^2}}} = 1$$ and the hyperbola $${{{x^2}} \over {144}} - {{{y^2}} \over {81}} = {1 \over {25}}$$ coincide. Then the value of $${b^2}$$ is
