Eccentricity of Ellipse Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Eccentricity of Ellipse = sqrt(1-(Semi Minor Axis of Ellipse/Semi Major Axis of Ellipse)^2)
e = sqrt(1-(b/a)^2)
This formula uses 1 Functions, 3 Variables

Functions Used

sqrt - A square root function is a function that takes a non-negative number as an input and returns the square root of the given input number., sqrt(Number)

Variables Used

Eccentricity of Ellipse - (Measured in Meter) - Eccentricity of Ellipse is the ratio of the linear eccentricity to the semi major axis of the Ellipse.
Semi Minor Axis of Ellipse - (Measured in Meter) - Semi Minor Axis of Ellipse is half of the length of the longest chord which is perpendicular to the line joining the foci of the Ellipse.
Semi Major Axis of Ellipse - (Measured in Meter) - Semi Major Axis of Ellipse is half of the chord passing through both the foci of the Ellipse.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Semi Minor Axis of Ellipse: 6 Meter --> 6 Meter No Conversion Required
Semi Major Axis of Ellipse: 10 Meter --> 10 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

What is an Ellipse?

An Ellipse is basically a conic section. If we cut a right circular cone using a plane at an angle greater than the semi angle of cone. Geometrically an Ellipse is the collection of all points in a plane such that the sum of the distances to them from two fixed points is a constant. Those fixed points are the foci of the Ellipse. The largest chord of the Ellipse is the major axis and the chord which passing through the center and perpendicular to the major axis is the minor axis of the ellipse. Circle is a special case of Ellipse in which both foci coincide at the center and so both major and minor axes become equal in length which is called the diameter of the circle.

How to Calculate Eccentricity of Ellipse?
