Flattening of Ellipse Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Flattening of Ellipse = (Major Axis of Ellipse-Minor Axis of Ellipse)/Minor Axis of Ellipse
f = (2a-2b)/2b
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Flattening of Ellipse - (Measured in Meter) - Flattening of Ellipse is the measure of the compression along the major axis to describe the off-spherical shape of the Ellipse.
Major Axis of Ellipse - (Measured in Meter) - Major Axis of Ellipse is the length of the chord which passing through both foci of the Ellipse.
Minor Axis of Ellipse - (Measured in Meter) - Minor Axis of Ellipse is the length of the longest chord which is perpendicular to the line joining the foci of the Ellipse.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Major Axis of Ellipse: 20 Meter --> 20 Meter No Conversion Required
Minor Axis of Ellipse: 12 Meter --> 12 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

f = (2a-2b)/2b --> (20-12)/12

Evaluating ... ...

f = 0.666666666666667

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.666666666666667 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.666666666666667 ≈ 0.666667 Meter <-- Flattening 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.

How to Calculate Flattening of Ellipse?
