Question

what information do you get about the eccentricity from the passage​

Answer 1

Answer:

The number that characterizes how flat the ellipse looks is called the eccentricity, denoted by the letter e. The eccentricity e can be calculated by taking the center-to-focus distance and dividing it by the semi-major axis distance. The limiting cases are the circle (e=0) and a line segment line (e=1).
