Answer

Makes sense

Work Step by Step

Standard form of an hyperbola is $\dfrac{x^2}{a^2}-\dfrac{y^2}{b^2}=1$ and Standard form of an ellipse is $\dfrac{x^2}{a^2}+\dfrac{y^2}{b^2}=1$ Both the above equations have a constant distance of its points to the fixed foci. Hence, the given statement makes sense.
