(C) For the hyperbola $2x^2 - 2y^2 = 1$,we can write it as $\frac{x^2}{1/2} - \frac{y^2}{1/2} = 1$. Here $a^2 = 1/2$ and $b^2 = 1/2$.Eccentricity $e_H = \sqrt{1 + \frac{b^2}{a^2}} = \sqrt{1 + 1} = \sqrt{2}$.The eccentricity of the ellipse $e_E$ is the reciprocal of $e_H$,so $e_E = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$.Since the ellipse and hyperbola intersect orthogonally,they are confocal.The foci of the hyperbola are $(\pm ae, 0) = (\pm \sqrt{1/2 	imes 2}, 0) = (\pm 1, 0)$.For the ellipse,$ae_E = 1$. Since $e_E = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$,we have $a 	imes \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} = 1$,so $a = \sqrt{2}$.Using $e_E^2 = 1 - \frac{b^2}{a^2}$,we get $\frac{1}{2} = 1 - \frac{b^2}{2}$,which implies $\frac{b^2}{2} = \frac{1}{2}$,so $b^2 = 1$.The length of the latus-rectum $L = \frac{2b^2}{a} = \frac{2(1)}{\sqrt{2}} = \sqrt{2}$.The square of the length of the latus-rectum is $(\sqrt{2})^2 = 2$.

Let the eccentricity of an ellipse $\frac{x^2}{a^2} + \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1$ be the reciprocal of the eccentricity of the hyperbola $2x^2 - 2y^2 = 1$. If the ellipse intersects the hyperbola at right angles,then the square of the length of the latus-rectum of the ellipse is $................$.
