Major axis: The longest diameter of an ellipse.
Minor axis: The shortest diameter of an ellipse. Recall that an ellipse is defined by the position of the two focus points (foci) and the sum of the distances from them to any point on the ellipse.
The length of the minor axis is given by the formula: minor axis=√(a+b)2−f2 where
f is the distance between foci
a,b are the distances from each focus to any point on the ellipse. The length of the major axis is given by the formula: major axis=a+b where
a,b are the distances from each focus to any point on the ellipse
