How can you draw an ellipse by arc of circle method when major axis 120mm and minor axis 80mm?
Circular segment
How can one draw a perfect ellipse?
One can create a perfect ellipse using two pins on a piece of string and a pencil. Place the pins at opposite sides and then loop the string around them. Finally place the pencil in the loops and pull it around the pins to draw the ellipse.
What does elipticall mean?
isn't it an arty word, like when you draw an ellipse-- so when you see/draw something with an ellipse you call it an elliptical drawing
Define the focus and the eccentricity of an ellipse?
A circle is perfectly round, and has one center. An ellipse is like a circle with TWO "centers", and each "center" is called a "focus". The plural of "focus" is "foci". Take a piece of string and tie a loop in each end. Put a pin through the loops, and hold it still in the center of the circle. Place the tip of your pencil at the center of the string, and you can draw a circle by keeping the string taut. Now take TWO pins, and put one pin at each end of the string; place the pins at some short distance apart, and hold them there. Place your pencil and draw, and the shape you draw will be an ellipse. The two pinpoints are the focuses, or foci, of the ellipse. Eccentricity is a measure of how far the ellipse varies from a circle. An ellipse with an eccentricity of zero _IS_ a circle, while an eccentricity of 1.0 is a straight line, with that string stretched out straight. In astronomy, every natural orbit is an ellipse.
Can you construct an instrument to draw ellipse?
Talv is screwing up wiki answers because hes got nothing better to do that idiot
