GET 102 GEOMETRIC CONSTRUCTION: CONIC SECTIONS Objective Question

Question

In the Ellipse - Concentric Circle Method, what are the radii of the two concentric circles constructed initially?
Options
A Equal to the major and minor axes respectively
B Equal to half of the major and minor axes respectively
Correct Answer
C Equal to the distance between the foci and the major axis
D Arbitrary radii that fit within the desired ellipse dimensions
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

According to the 'ELLIPSE- Concentric Circle Method' section, Step 1 states: 'construct two concentric circles with radii equal to 1/2 of major and 1/2 of minor axes.'
