When drawing the ellipse why are the sums equal to each other?
That's the definition of an ellipse.
What are dots on an ellipse called?
Dots on an ellipse are commonly referred to as "points." In a more specific mathematical context, these points can represent various aspects such as the foci of the ellipse, which are two fixed points used in its definition. Additionally, points on the perimeter of the ellipse can be described in terms of their coordinates based on the ellipse's equation.
What did you discover in Part B about the sums of lines AC and BC for your ellipse?
In Part B, I discovered that the sums of the distances from any point on the ellipse to the two foci, A and B, remain constant. This constant sum is equal to the major axis length of the ellipse. This property reinforces the definition of an ellipse and illustrates its unique geometric characteristics. Overall, it highlights the relationship between the foci and the shape of the ellipse.
What is the mathematical definition of an ellipse?
One definition is that it is the locus of a point such that the sum of its distances from two fixed points (the foci) is a constant. There are several equivalent forms in coordinate geometry. Once the ellipse has been centred on the orign (using translations), (x/a)2 + (y/b)2 = 1 or x2 + (ey)2 = c2
Can the foci's of and ellipse be outside the ellipse?
No.

Which of these is the best definition of an ellipse?
The set of all points in a plane for which the sum of the distances to two fixed points equals a certain constant. - APEX

Which shape that best describes the earth's orbit around the sun?
The Earth's orbit around the sun is best described as an ellipse. An ellipse is a geometric shape that is elongated and slightly flattened. The sun is located at one of the foci of the ellipse, not at the center.

What word best describes the orbit of a comet?
an ellipse
How is the planet's orbit shaped like?
Most things orbit in an elliptical pattern. There is a technical definition of an ellipse but between you and me it is an oval.
What is the best definition of an ellipse?
a regular oval shape, traced by a point moving in a plane so that the sum of its distances from two other points (the foci) is constant, or resulting when a cone is cut by an oblique plane that does not intersect the base.
What is the mathematical definition of an ellipse?
One definition is that it is the locus of a point such that the sum of its distances from two fixed points (the foci) is a constant. There are several equivalent forms in coordinate geometry. Once the ellipse has been centred on the orign (using translations), (x/a)2 + (y/b)2 = 1 or x2 + (ey)2 = c2
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.
Can the foci of an ellipse be outside of the ellipse?
No. Both foci are always inside the ellipse, otherwise you don't have an ellipse.
