sum
constant

5. Get out a piece of blank paper
Steps to draw an ellipse:
1. Put the blank paper on the cardboard, and push the two pins through the paper and the board.
2. Draw the top half of an ellipse using a pencil and the string. Then draw the bottom half.
Draw several different ellipses:
Move the pins further apart.
Move the pins closer.
Consider the following questions:
 What happens to the shape when the pins are moved apart? Closer?
 Does the total length of the string ever change?

6. The two fixed points are called the ______.

d1 + d2 = 2a d1 d2
The sum of the distances from the _____ to any point on the ellipse is the same as the length of the ______ axis, or ___ units.
This distance from the center to either _____ is c units.
By the ___________ Theorem, a, b, and c are related by the equation _________, where a > b.
foci
major 2a
By Pythagorean theorem,
c2+b2 = d22
c2+b2 = d12
foci
since here d1 = d2
and d1+d2 = 2a
2d1 = 2a
d1 = 2a 2
d1 = d2 = a
c2 + b2 = a2
c2 = a2 – b2
Pythagorean
c2 = a2 – b2
