An ellipse is an oval curve defined by two focal points. It has two axes: the semi-major axis (a, longer) and semi-minor axis (b, shorter). Ellipses appear in planetary orbits, optics, and engineering.

Area = πab; Perimeter ≈ π[3(a+b) − √((3a+b)(a+3b))]; e = √(1 − (b/a)²)
- a
- semi-major axis (half long axis) (length)
- b
- semi-minor axis (half short axis) (length)
- e
- eccentricity — measure of how "stretched" the ellipse is

자주 묻는 질문
What is eccentricity and what does it measure?
Eccentricity (e) measures how much the ellipse deviates from a circle. e=0 is a circle, e approaching 1 is very stretched.
How do I calculate the foci of an ellipse?
The distance from center to each focus is c = √(a² − b²). The foci lie on the major axis.
Why is the perimeter approximate?
Unlike circles, ellipse perimeter has no simple closed formula. Ramanujan's approximation is highly accurate.
