Answer to Problem 2E
The chord joining the vertices of an ellipse is the …major-axis………., and its midpoint is the ………centre…..of the ellipse
Explanation of Solution
Given information :
Given ellipse
The chord joining the vertices of an ellipse is the longest diameter of the ellipse and is called major axis of the ellipse.
The midpoint of the major axis is called the centre of the ellipse.
This can be understand from the graph of the ellipse as shown below:
Suppose
Hence, the chord joining the vertices of an ellipse is the …major-axis………., and its midpoint is the ………centre…..of the ellipse .
