The distance between the center are  the foci located 8 units.

What is ellipse?

A closed plane curve generated by a point moving in such a way that the sums of its distances from two fixed points is a constant.

Given that:

The length of the major axis is 2a,  

length of the major axis

2a=10

a=5

The length of the minor axis is 2b.

Length of the minor axis

2b=6

b=3

The distance between the center and either focus is c,

c^{2} =a^{2} -b^{2}

c^{2} =5^{2} -3^{2}

c^{2} =25-9

c=8

So, the distance between the center are  the foci located 8 units.
