problem

A circle has the same center as an ellipse and passes through the foci F1F_1 and F2F_2 of the ellipse. The two curves intersect in 4 points. Let PP be any point of intersection. If the major axis of the ellipse is 15 and the area of triangle PF1F2PF_1 F_2 is 26, compute the distance between the foci.

Original LaTeX notation
A circle has the same center as an ellipse and passes through the foci $F_1$ and $F_2$ of the ellipse.  The two curves intersect in 4 points.  Let $P$ be any point of intersection.  If the major axis of the ellipse is 15 and the area of triangle $PF_1 F_2$ is 26, compute the distance between the foci.
