-- the eccentricity or -- the distance between the foci or -- the ratio of the major and minor axes
If the eccentricity was 0 the ellipse would instead be a circle, and if the eccentricity was 1 it would be a straight line segment.
Then it will be a circle.
The answer will depend on what measure is required: length of a side, perimeter, radius or diameter (if circular), eccentricity (if an ellipse), area.The answer will depend on what measure is required: length of a side, perimeter, radius or diameter (if circular), eccentricity (if an ellipse), area.The answer will depend on what measure is required: length of a side, perimeter, radius or diameter (if circular), eccentricity (if an ellipse), area.The answer will depend on what measure is required: length of a side, perimeter, radius or diameter (if circular), eccentricity (if an ellipse), area.
A : A circle is a closed figure with eccentricity 1. Similarly, ellipse is also a closed fig with eccentricity less than 1 and parabola with greater than 1.
the eccentricity will increase.
The eccentricity of that ellipse is 0.4 .
The foci of an ellipse are points used to define its shape, and the eccentricity of an ellipse is a measure of how "elongated" or stretched out it is. The closer the foci are to each other, the smaller the eccentricity, while the farther apart the foci are, the larger the eccentricity of the ellipse.

-- the eccentricity or -- the distance between the foci or -- the ratio of the major and minor axes
The distance from one of the foci of an ellipse to its center is half the distance between its two foci. It is referred to as the focal distance and is an important parameter in defining the shape and size of the ellipse.
Dont know the eccentricity , but the minor axis = 39.888 cm (approx)

Planets don't have circular orbits; all orbits are ellipses. A circle has one center, but an ellipse has two focuses, or "foci". The further apart the foci, the greater the eccentricity, which is a measure of how far off circular the ellipse is. Venus has the lowest eccentricity, at 0.007. Neptune is next with an eccentricity of 0.011. (Earth's orbit has an eccentricity of 0.017.) So, Venus has the shortest focus-to-focus distance.
An ellipse with less eccentricity will be closer in shape to a circle, so it will generally be smaller than an ellipse with more eccentricity which is more elongated. The size comparison also depends on the specific dimensions of the ellipses.
No, the eccentricity of an ellipse tells us the shape of the ellipse, not its size. The size of an ellipse can be determined by its major and minor axes lengths, or by its area.
