Let $H : \frac{x^{2}}{a^{2}}-\frac{y^{2}}{b^{2}}=1$,$a > 0, b > 0$,be a hyperbola such that the sum of lengths of the transverse and the conjugate axes is $4(2\sqrt{2}+\sqrt{14})$. If the eccentricity of $H$ is $\frac{\sqrt{11}}{2}$,then the value of $a^{2}+b^{2}$ is equal to

If the product of the perpendicular distances from any point on the hyperbola $\frac{x^2}{a^2} - \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1$ to its asymptotes is $\frac{36}{13}$ and its eccentricity is $\frac{\sqrt{13}}{3}$,then $a - b =$

Let the eccentricity $e$ of a hyperbola satisfy the equation $6e^2 - 11e + 3 = 0$. If the foci of the hyperbola are $(3, 5)$ and $(3, -4)$, then the length of its latus rectum is:
