Let $S$ and $S'$ be the foci of the ellipse $\frac{x^2}{25} + \frac{y^2}{16} = 1$ and $P$ be a variable point on the ellipse. The maximum area of the triangle $PSS'$ is ............. square units.

Let $E_1: \frac{x^2}{9}+\frac{y^2}{4}=1$ be an ellipse. Ellipses $E_i$ are constructed such that their centres and eccentricities are the same as that of $E_1$,and the length of the minor axis of $E_i$ is the length of the major axis of $E_{i+1}$ $(i \geq 1)$. If $A_i$ is the area of the ellipse $E_i$,then $\frac{5}{\pi}\left(\sum_{i=1}^{\infty} A_i\right)$ is equal to . . . . . . .
