The given ellipse is


576x^2+625y^2=360,000

Where A(15, f(15)), B(20, f(20)).

First, we find f(15) and f(20) by evaluating the given expression


\begin{gathered} f(15)=576(15)^2+625y^2=360,000 \\ 576\cdot225+625y^2=360,000 \\ 129,600+625y^2=360,000 \\ 625y^2=360,000-129,600 \\ 625y^2=230,400 \\ y^2=(230,400)/(625) \\ y^2=368.64 \\ y=\sqrt[]{368.64} \\ y=19.2 \end{gathered}

We use the same process to find f(20).


\begin{gathered} f(20)=576(20)^2+625y^2=360,000 \\ 576\cdot400+625y^2=360,000 \\ 625y^2=360,000-230,400 \\ x^2=(129,600)/(576) \\ x=\sqrt[]{225}=15 \\ \end{gathered}

So, the points are A(15, 19.2) and B(20, 15). To find the distance between these points, we have to use the distance formula


\begin{gathered} d_(AB)=\sqrt[]{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2} \\ d_(AB)=\sqrt[]{(20-15)^2+(15-19.2)^2} \\ d_(AB)=\sqrt[]{5^2+(-4.2)^2}=\sqrt[]{25+17.64}=\sqrt[]{42.64} \\ d_(AB)\approx6.5 \end{gathered}

Hence, the length of AB is around 6.5 units.
