ELLIPSE Flashcards
IT IS FORMED WHEN A PLANE IS “NOT PARALLEL TO THE SURFACE AND THE BASE OF THE CONE”.
ELLIPSE
IS THE SET OF POINTS WHOSE SUM OF DISTANCES FROM TWO FIXED POINTS IS A CONSTANT.
ELLIPSE
THIS IS WHERE THE MAJOR AXIS AND MINOR AXIS INTERSECT.
MIDPOINT.
CENTER
IN WHICH THE SUM OF THE DISTANCE FROM ANY POINT IS CONSTANT.
FOCI
THESE ARE THE ENDPOINTS OF THE MAJOR AXIS.
VERTICES
A LINE THAT INTERSECTS THE VERTEX, CENTER AND FOCUS OF THE ELLIPSE.
MAJOR AXIS
THESE ARE THE ENDPOINTS OF THE MINOR AXIS.
CO-VERTICES
A LINE THAT BISECTS THE MAJOR AXIS.
MINOR AXIS
THE DISTANCE FROM CENTER TO BOTH FOCUS IS …
C
THE DISTANCE FROM CENTER TO BOTH VERTEX IS …
A
IN ORDER TO GET THE LENGHT OF THE MAJOR AXIS …
2A
THE DISTANCE FROM CENTER TO BOTH CO-VERTEX IS …
B
IN ORDER TO GETH THE LEGNTH OF THE MINOR AXIS …
2B
IN AN ELLIPSE:
> A IS ALWAYS GREATER THAN B.
A IS ALWAYS GREATER THAN C.
ID A=B, THEN THE ELLIPSE IS A CIRCLE.
C2 = A2 - B2
FORMULA TO FIND THE FOCUS …
C2 = A2 - B2
