In coordinate geometry of the standard hyperbola $\frac{x^2}{a^2} - \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1$:
The two vertices are located at $A(a, 0)$ and $A'(-a, 0)$.
The segment joining the two vertices is called the transverse axis, and its length is $2a$, which is the distance between the two vertices.
The distance between the two foci is $2ae$ (focal distance).
मानक अतिपरवलय $\frac{x^2}{a^2} - \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1$ में:
दोनों शीर्ष $A(a, 0)$ और $A'(-a, 0)$ पर स्थित होते हैं।
दोनों शीर्षों को मिलाने वाला रेखाखंड अनुप्रस्थ अक्ष (transverse axis) कहलाता है, जिसकी लंबाई $2a$ होती है।
