All circle are also ellipse true or false?
true
What is the true way to find the circumference of a oval?
Not quite sure what you mean by "true way". You can measure it with a string or a similar flexible object. Or you can measure length and width, and - assuming it is an ellipse - use the formula for the circumference of an ellipse - or rather, an approximation formula.
Is this sentence true or false.the manipulated variable is plotted on the horzontal axis?
TRUE!
What is true of the y-coordinates below the x-axis?
They have negative values
Is it only possible to plot the correct answer by stating with the point on the vertical axis?
true
True or false The foci of an ellipse can be outside the ellipse?
False
The foci of an ellipse will always lie inside the ellipse true or fale?
true
The foci of an ellipse will always lie inside the ellipse?
true
What shape of the planets orbit?
The planets orbit in an ellipse. An ellipse is described as a geometric shape where the sum of the distance from the foci at any point is the same. An ellipse has three main points. Two foci and a center like a circle. While a true circle has all its external points equidistant from its center, an ellipse measures its points from the foci, which are equidistant to the center point at on both sides. The planets ellipse is closer to a circle than an all out ellipse, however, the orbit is still a true ellipse. It is also true that the shape of a planet's orbit (an ellipse) is a conic section, i.e. the intersection of a right circular cone where the intersecting plane is not perpendicular to the cone's axis, but less than being parallel to one of the cone's nappes.
What are the properties that determines the true shape of ellipse?
Essentially an ellipse is a circle rotated about an axis without changing the point of view.
How do you calculate a planet's orbital semi major axis?
The equation of an ellipse is ((x-x0)^2)/b^2)+((y-y0)^2/a^2)=1 hope that helps! : ) ____________________________________________________ that equation is for an ellipse, true, but that's not what is needed here. In this case you can just use Kepler's 3rd law which is: p^2=a^3 Which means the period (in years) squared is equal to the radius (or semi major axis) in AU cubed.
How far away from the Sun is the other focus of Earth's orbit?
What a great question ! The earth's orbit is elliptical, the ellipse has two foci (focuses), and the center of the sun is at one of them. All true. But the earth's orbit is so close to being circular that the distance between the two foci isn't that great, and the other focus is inside the sun ! I'm not sure about Pluto, but I think that's true for all the other planets.
Every circle is also an ellipse true or false?
True
All circle are also ellipse true or false?
true
Is it true that Brahe was the first astronomer to understand that the planets orbited the sun in an ellipse?
Yes, True
Is it true that the x axis is the horizontal axis and the y axis is the vertical axis?
yes
What axis of neck?
the axis of neck is z axis so this is a true answer.
