The Ellipse 1.2

In the concentric circles method, what direction do we draw lines on the major diameter circle where it meets the 60/30 lines?

• Vertically up

• Vertically down

• Horizontally left

• Horizontally right

In the concentric circles method, which direction do we draw lines from the minor circle where it meets the 60/30 lines?

• Horizontally left

• Vertically down

• Horizontally right

• Vertically up

On Wednesday the 1st of March, which method did we use to draw an ellipse?

• Rectangle method

• Concentric circles method

• Trammel method

For the trammel method, to create the trammel we need a point p, 1/2 the distance of the minor axis and what else?

• The full distance of the minor axis

• 1/2 the distance of the major axis

• The full major axis

• The focal points

In the concentric circles method, where the lines from the 60/30 from the major & minor circles meet is a point on the ellipse?

• False

• True

The focal points allow us to draw a tangent

• True

• False

We do not need to draw in the ellipse when we have our points located on it

• False

• True

Conic sections & circles at an angle appear elliptical in shape

• True

• False

We can use a string to draw an ellipse

• True

• False
