*Ellipse

An ellipse is a closed curve like a circle. An ellipse may be drawn by choosing two points F₁ and F₂, each of which is a called a focus, and then drawing a curve through points for which the sum of the distances PF₁ and PF₂, respectively, is a constant.

If the center of ellipse is at point origin

Note if a = b, ellipse becomes a circle of radius a.

Area of ellipse = πab
