Noun. 1. ellipse-a closed plane curve resulting from the intersection of a circular cone and a plane cutting completely through it; the sums of the distances from the foci to any point on an ellipse is constant. oval. conic, conic section - (geometry) a curve generated by the intersection of a plane and a circular cone.
Formula for the focus of an Ellipse. An ellipse is the set of all points in a plane such that the sum of the distances from T to two fixed points F 1 and F 2 is a given constant, K. TF1 + TF2 = K. F 1 and F 2 are both foci (plural of focus) of the ellipse. The formula generally associated with the focus of an ellipse is cÂ²= aÂ² â bÂ² where c is the distance from the focus to vertex and b is the distance from the vertex a co-vetex on the minor axis.
