What is the FOCI of a circle?
A circle is an ellipse with an eccentricity of zero. Both foci of that ellipse are at the same point. In the special case of the circle, that point is called the "center".
Does an ellipse have 4 straight angles?
An ellipse is a conic section, a curving line which is the path of a point that moves in such a way that the sum of its distance from two fixed points is constant.... so no - there are not 4 straight angles in an ellipse, nor any straight bits at all.
What shape is a possible cross section of a cone?
A point, a straight line, a circle, an ellipse, a parabola and half a hyperbola.
How many edges does a 3d cone have?
Two. The top 'edge' or point, and the bottom edge defining the circle or ellipse of the base.

What does the word ellipse means?
Ellipse is a term for an oval. Specifically it is a shape where the sum of the distance of every point on the ellipse to two points, called the foci, is equal.
What is the FOCI of a circle?
A circle is an ellipse with an eccentricity of zero. Both foci of that ellipse are at the same point. In the special case of the circle, that point is called the "center".
What are the difference between circle and ellipse between circle and ellipse?
An ellipse is a shape on which the sum of the distances from every point to two points inside called the foci (focuses) is always the same number. A circle is an ellipse with both foci (focuses) at the same point.
Is a point that helps to define an ellipse?
No there can never be a single point. But yes there are two such points called foci( each called focus) that helps to define an ellipse. An ellipse can then be defined as a curve which is actually the locus of all points in a plane,the sum of whose distances from two fixed points (the foci) is a given(positive)constant . This is further expressed mathematically to obtain the equation of an ellipse.
In the standard equation for an ellipse a is half the length of the axis?
An ellipse is the set of each and every point in a place such that the sum of the distance from the foci is constant, Major Axis of the ellipse is the part from side to side the center of ellipse to the larger axis, or the length of that sector. The major diameter is the largest diameter of an ellipse. Below equation is the standard ellipse equation: X2/a + Y2/b = 1, (a > b > 0)
What is a special form of the ellipse called?
A special form of the ellipse is called a circle. In a circle, the distance from the center to any point on the boundary is constant, meaning all points are equidistant from the center. This can be seen as an ellipse where the two foci coincide at the center, resulting in equal semi-major and semi-minor axes.
A is a point that helps to define an ellipse?
focus
How do you use the word ellipse in a sentence?
Ben drew an ellipse as a plane curve with edges not parallel to its axis.
What is the shape of the ellipse that both foci in the same place?
Both foci of any ellipse are always in the same plane.If they're both at the same point, then the ellipse is a circle.
The point below the epicenter is called the?
The point below the epicenter is called the focus. It is where the earthquake originates and radiates outwards in all directions.
When is an ellipse very accentrie?
An ellipse is very eccentric when its foci are far apart.The closer one focus is to the other, the less eccentric the ellipse is.When when both foci are the same point, the eccentricity is zero, and the ellipse is a circle.
