FORMATION OF ELLIPSE

GUIDED BY PRESENTED BY
Mr. kkpatel Ma. Shivraj
CLASS 11TH
 ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

I am heartily thankful to principal



madam Smt.Manju ji. for giving me an

opportunity to present a exhibit for
cluster level exhibition at JNV Durg
(2008). I am also thankful to Shri K. K.
Patel sir, for their guidance and moral
support. I am also vary thankful to my
friends. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
 AIMS

To construct an ellipse for making the study of ellipse

more interesting.
To understand the concept of Conic section more
effectively.
By this working model we can also make the
 sundial.

 LATUS
RECTUM
The chord of the ellipse which
passes through the focus and
is perpendicular to major axis is
called Latus rectum and it’s
equation is clearly x = -ae. It’s
length is 2l.
 Some formulae of ellipse
EQUATION :- x2 y2
+ =1
a2 b2
MAJOR AXIS :- x-axis(x=0)length 2a
MINOR AXIS:- y-axis(y=0)length 2b
ECCENTRICITY BY RELATION:- b2 =a2 (1-e2 )
FOCI: -S(0,be), S'(0,-be)
FEET OF DIRECTRICES:- z(0,a/e), z'(0,-a/e)
VERTICES:- A(0,b), A'(0,-b)
LENGTH OF LATUS RECTUM:- 2b2/ a , a>b
EQUATION OF DIRECTRICES:- x=a/e, :x=-a/e
 LIMITATION

There will be mechanical error in this model

formation of ellipse.
To make the ellipse may be other methods
are also possible but we don’t know about
it.
It may be automatically moveable but due
lack of time. We are not able to make it.
 I AM THANKFUL TO:

Mrs. Manju ., Principal,

Mr. K. K.Patel tgt science,
JNV Mahasamund (C.G.) for giving
me the opportunity and time to work
on this project.
