Can the foci of an ellipse can be outside the ellipse?
No. Both foci are always inside the ellipse, otherwise you don't have an ellipse.

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 term best describes the set of all points in a plane for which the sum of the distances two fixed points equal a certain constant?
You're trying to describe an "ellipse".
How many foci does an ellipse have?
Two
What two things does every ellipse have?
An ellipse have two focal points.
What is the two central points of an ellipse?
The two central points of an ellipse are officially known as the foci (plural of focus).
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.
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.
The two central points of a ellipse?
foci
What do ellipses have two of?
The foci of an ellipse are two special points.
What is an oval shape centered on two points instead of one?
An oval shape centered on two points is called an ellipse. Ellipses have two focal points instead of a single center like a circle.
A closed curve around two points?
A continuous curve surrounding two points will be called an ellipse. Very strictly speaking, the ellipse, circle, etc is the bit inside the curve. e.g. " a circle is bounded by ... "* * * * *Even more strictly speaking, it is any closed curve around two points - it could wobble all over the place.
How do you find the major axis in an ellipse?
The major axis is the line that joins the two foci (focuses) of the ellipse. If all you have is a picture of an ellipse and you don't know where the foci are, you can still find the major axis in a few seconds: It's the longest possible line that you can draw completely inside the ellipse, and it's the line straight across the ellipse between the two opposite "points of the egg".
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 point that helps to define an ellipse?
There are two points: the foci.
Which shape is ellipse?
Ovallike an egg.hey how did u create that question please tell me^ that is so not the answer -.- An ellipse is an oval with a line going down the middle and a line going across. thatd make it look like a square (kinda) inside the oval :D
