Fun with Ellipse

Geometry Level 3

On the ellipse x 2 64 + y 2 9 = 1 \frac { { x }^{ 2 } }{ 64 } +\frac { { y }^{ 2 } }{ 9 } =1 , tangents drawn at P 1 , P 2 , P 3 , . . . P n { P }_{ 1 },{ P }_{ 2 },{ P }_{ 3 },...{ P }_{ n } intersect the major axis at T 1 , T 2 , T 3 , . . . T n { T }_{ 1 },{ T }_{ 2 },{ T }_{ 3 },...{ T }_{ n } respectively,

if the value of i = 1 n A r e a ( Δ P i T i S ) A r e a ( Δ P i T i S ) ( P i T i ) 2 = 18 \sum _{ i=1 }^{ n }{ \frac { { { Area }\left( { \Delta }{ P }_{ i }{ T }_{ i }{ S } \right) }*{ Area }\left( { \Delta }{ P }_{ i }{ T }_{ i }{ S }' \right) }{ { \left( P_{ i }{ T }_{ i } \right) }^{ 2 } } } = 18 , then n n equal to?

where S S and S S' represents the two focus of ellipse.
