How many companies did a typical revolutionary infantry Regiment have a 1776?
Continental regiments were supposed to be organized like British regiments, with eight companies. All companies were to have eighty-odd men of all ranks. Two of these were "flank companies", one company of grenadiers, men selected for their large size and strength, and one company of light infantry, smaller, more agile men, selected for the ability to move quickly. The British were fond of the practice of taking these flank companies from all regiments on hand and forming ad hoc battalions. This was what was done to form the column that marched on Lexington and Concord the day the war began. (The relief column was Royal Marines, taken from the ships crews in Boston Harbor and likewise amalgamated into a battalion). In practice few Continental regiments were ever recruited to full strength, and little attention seems to have been paid to creating elite flank companies. The first Continentals were enlisted for one year, in 1776. This turned out to be a very short-sighted approach. If all the states had provided their complete quota of full-strength regiments, Washington would have had an army of around 88,000 men. Washington never had a quarter of that many on the Continental establishment. Beginning in 1777 men were enlisted for three years. Eventually in many state lines regiments had to be consolidated, due to their tiny size.

Directly to the north is the South Lawn of the White House. The Ellipse contains several memorials and houses the White House Christmas Tree in December.
How do you find the surface area of an ellipse?
An ellipse is a two dimensional shape, so it does not have a "surface area", only an "area". Any ellipse has two radii, the major one and the minor one. We'll call them R1 and R2. The area of the ellipse then can be calculated with the function: a = πR1R2 You will notice that this is the same equation as the area for a circle. The circle is a special case though, because it is an ellipse in which both axes are the same length. In that case, R1 equals R2, so we can simply call it r and say: a = πr2
How do I find the perimeter of an ellipse?
It is approximately 2π√(.5*(a2+b2)) area = πab a= 1/2 height b= 1/2 width

What two things does every ellipse have?
An ellipse have two focal points.
What shape has two foci's?
An ellipse, a hyperbola.
How many lines of symmetry does an ellipse have?
An ellipse has two lines of mirror symmetry: the line that includes the two foci of the ellipse and the perpendicular bisector of the segment of that line between the two foci.
What two points define the shape of the ellipse?
The two foci are necessary to define the location of an ellipse, but the shape depends on the eccentricity, which is related to the lengths of the two axes.
Ellipse has two?
Foci.
