It looks as if you are simply posting all of these similar questions, wanting us to do all your work for you. That's not the purpose of this forum; our purpose is to help YOU learn how to work the problems.
Here is what you need to know to work this one:
The segment joining the two vertices is the major axis; its length is 2a.
The length of the minor axis is 2b.
With the given information, only a couple of simple calculations are needed to find a and b.
