Do you need the semi minior or just minor?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank You so much! :) I just need the minor.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the semiminor axis length is 1/3. I'll let you figure out the minor length.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hint: multiply it by 2.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you please help me to get to minor, what are the steps to get from semi minor to minor?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh, I'll try it first!

OpenStudy (anonymous):
