Given an ellipse x2a2+y2b2=1\frac{x^2}{a^2} + \frac{y^2}{b^2} = 1, if the area of the rectangle formed by the four points of intersection of the ellipse with the lines x=±aex = \pm ae and y=±b2ay = \pm \frac{b^2}{a} is defined, what is the ratio of this area to the area of the ellipse when e=32e = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}?
