I got 10 cm for the major axis and 9.16 cm for the minor axis. Is this correct? And how would I find the foci of this ellipse?
5) Let's practice drawing an ellipse with semi-major axis of about 5 cm and eccentricity of 0.4.
A) What is the full maximum length of the ellipse from end to end?
B) Search the wbe the definition of the semi-minor axis of an ellipse. The equation for the semi-
minor axis of the ellipse is b
a (1-e2). What is the full height (or the smallest full length)
of the ellipse from top to bottom?
C) Using this information, draw the ellipse and label the two lengths you found in A and B.
Suppose the ellipse represents the orbit of an object revolving around the Sun. Draw a small
circle representing roughly where the Sun would go in this ellipse. (Any valid location will
