Well, when an ellipse has zero eccentricity and is called a circle, its major and minor

axes are both the same length. In fact, every axis through the center has the same

length, even the oblique ones, and every one of them is called a "diameter".

So the semi-major axis of a circle is half of the diameter, typically referred to as the "radius".

In your circle, that's 12 cm.

Work out the perimeter of the semi-cirle when diameter is 15cm?

The perimeter of a full circle (circumference) is "pi" times the diameter. So the perimeter of a semi-circle will be half that; Perimeter = (pi/2) x (diameter).

What is the red line segment called in a ellipse?

Whichever segment it is to which you are referring, it does not need to be red; it can be any color.The segment that intersects both foci is called the semi-major axis. The segment that is perpendicular to the semi-major axis with one end midway between the foci is called the semi-minor axis.


How do you find the perimeter of a rectangle with a semi circle attached to it?

add the perimeter of the rectangle, minus the side that'c covered by the semi circle. then, find the circumference of the semi circle [diameter x pi, divided by 2] and addd them together


How do you find the center and semi-major and semi-minor axis for ellipse with equation 16x2 plus y2 equals 16?

An ellipse with centre (xo, yo) with major and minor axes a and b (the larger of a, b being the major axis) has an equation of the form: (x - xo)2 / a2 + (y - yo)2 / b2 = 1 The semi-major and semi-minor axes are half the major and minor axes. So re-arrange the equation into this form: 16x2 + y2 = 16 x2 + y2 / 16 = 1 (x - 0)2 / 12 + (y - 0)2 / 42 = 1 Giving: Centre = (0, 0) Major axis = 2 Semi-major axis = 2/2 = 1 Minor axis = 1 Semi-minor axis = 1/2

What is equal to the length of the major axis of an ellipse?

The length of the major axis of an ellipse is equal to twice the length of the semi-major axis. If the semi-major axis is denoted as "a," then the major axis length is 2a. This axis is the longest diameter of the ellipse, stretching from one end of the ellipse to the other through the center.


How can one determine the semi-major axis of an orbit?

To determine the semi-major axis of an orbit, you can measure the distance between the center of the orbit and one of its furthest points. This distance is half of the longest diameter of the elliptical orbit and is known as the semi-major axis.

How do you work out width of oval?

To calculate the width of an oval (ellipse), you need to measure its major and minor axes. The major axis is the longest diameter, while the minor axis is the shortest. The width of the oval can be represented by the length of the minor axis, which indicates its width at the widest point perpendicular to the major axis. If you have the semi-minor axis (half of the minor axis), the width can be expressed as 2 times the semi-minor axis length.

What are all the attributes of a ellipse?

An ellipse is defined by several key attributes: its two focal points, the major and minor axes, and the eccentricity which measures the deviation from a perfect circle. The major axis is the longest diameter, while the minor axis is the shortest. The distance from any point on the ellipse to the two foci remains constant, which is a defining property of ellipses. Additionally, the semi-major and semi-minor axes are half of the lengths of the major and minor axes, respectively.
