Latus Rectum of Ellipse given Eccentricity and Semi Major Axis Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Latus Rectum of Ellipse = 2*Semi Major Axis of Ellipse*(1-Eccentricity of Ellipse^2)
2l = 2*a*(1-e^2)
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Latus Rectum of Ellipse - (Measured in Meter) - Latus Rectum of Ellipse is the line segment passing through any of the foci and perpendicular to the major axis whose ends are on 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.
Eccentricity of Ellipse - (Measured in Meter) - Eccentricity of Ellipse is the ratio of the linear eccentricity to the semi major axis of the Ellipse.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Semi Major Axis of Ellipse: 10 Meter --> 10 Meter No Conversion Required
Eccentricity of Ellipse: 0.8 Meter --> 0.8 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

2l = 2*a*(1-e^2) --> 2*10*(1-0.8^2)

Evaluating ... ...

2l = 7.2

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

7.2 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

7.2 Meter <-- Latus Rectum of Ellipse

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.
