JordanAn ellipse is a shape that is oval or egg-shaped, with two equal and opposite focal points. In the context of buildings, "flank" typically means to stand on either side of a particular area or structure. So, two buildings flanking an ellipse would mean that they are positioned on either side of the elliptical area.

Which two building flank the Ellipse?
the White House and the Washington monument
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
What two things does every ellipse have?
An ellipse have two focal points.
Are two triangles an ellipse?
