- How Wide Is an Ellipse at a Focus? A latus rectum for an ellipse is a line segment perpendicular to the major axis at a focus, with endpoints on the ellipse, as shown in the figure. Show that the length of a latus rectum is 2b2/a for the ellipse x2a2+y2b2=1a>barrow_forwardSunburst Window A “sunburst” window above a doorway is constructed in the shape of the top half of an ellipse, as shown in the figure. The window is 20 in. tall at its highest point and 80 in. wide at the bottom. Find the height of the window 25 in. from the center of the base.arrow_forwardOrbit of the earth Find the distance that the earth travels in one day in its path around the sun. Assume that a year has 365 days and that the path of the earth around the sun is a circle of radius 93 million miles. Note: The path of the earth around the sun is actually an ellipse with the sun at one focus see Section 12.2. This ellipse, however, has very small eccentricity, so it is nearly circular.arrow_forward
