Directrices of An Ellipse
• An ellipse is the locus of points such that The ratio of the distance to the nearer focus to … The distance to the nearer directrix … Equals a constant that
is less than one.
• This constant is the eccentricity.

Additional Ellipse Elements
• The latus rectum is the distance across the ellipse at the focal point. There is one at each focus. They are shown in red

Latus Rectum
• Consider the length of the latus rectum
• Use the equation foran ellipse and solve for the y valuewhen x = c Then double that

Try It Out
• Given the ellipse
• What is the length of the latus rectum?
• What are the lines that are the directrices?

Area of an Ellipse
• What might be the area of an ellipse?
• If the area of a circle is
…how might that relate to the area of the ellipse? An ellipse is just a unit circle that has been
stretched by a factor A in the x-direction, and a factor B in the y-direction
