Is a circle also an ellipse?

OpenStudy (istim):

I don't think so.

OpenStudy (istim):

Because the radius is not the same throughout.

OpenStudy (cathyangs):

...for a circle?!?!

OpenStudy (istim):

For an ellipse.

OpenStudy (chriss):

yes, circles are a special case of ellipses

OpenStudy (istim):

AW. I'm wrong.

OpenStudy (cathyangs):

but i'm asking if a circle is an ellipse, not the other way around...

OpenStudy (istim):

A square can be a rectangle, but a rectangle can't be a square.

OpenStudy (rogue):

All circles are ellipses, but not all ellipses are circles.

OpenStudy (cathyangs):

XD but some rectangles can be squares.
