The hyperbola is equilateral and has foci at (0,6) and (0,-6). So far I found out that the center is (0,0) and C is 5. I need help finding the a squared and b squared in the problem so I can write the hyperbola equation.

the foci at (0,6) and (0,-6) => the center is (0,0) and C is 6
The hyperbola is equilateral => a=b
c^2 = a^2+b^2
36 = 2a^2
a^2 = b^2 = 18
x^2/18 - y^2/18 = 1
