Question

Describe in paragraph form the differences between circles and ellipses

Answer 1

You can do the paragraph. Circles have the equal \(x^2 + y^2 = r^2\), while ellipses have the equation \((\frac x a)^2 + (\frac y b)^2 = 1\).

Answer 2

Ellipses are not perfectly round, they are elongated.

Answer 3

A circle and an ellipse are different in that their measurements are not the same. Whereas one could draw numerous lines from the edge of the circle and the center (also known as the radius) and the length of the lines would never change, such is not the case with an ellipse. An ellipse is more of an oval shape, therefore the measurements from the edge to the center depending on where the line was drawn will differ.

Answer 4

@bloopman , i think she wanted a "paragraph" Like 3-7 sentences...

Answer 5

"You can do the paragraph."

Answer 6

what do you mean? Your answer was fairly obvious from the visual point of view,if you expanded on that and created some more descriptions maybe on a mathematical scale,that would have been an appropriate answer.
