Ellipse Calculator

The eccentricity of an ellipse is defined as e=c / a . For an ellipse, 0<c<a, so 0<e<1 . When e is close to 0, an ellipse appears to be nearly circular. When e is close to 1, an ellipse is very flat. Observe the shapes of the ellipses in Examples 2 and 4. Which ellipse has the smaller eccentricity? Confirm your answer by computing the eccentricity of each ellipse. | Numerade
