If a circle was flattened by pushing down on it it would most likely form into the shape of a blank which has blank focal points

Answer: Ellipse, Two Focal Points

Step-by-step explanation:

A circle is the set of all points in a plane at a given distance from a(i.e. 1) focus, in this case, the centre.

If the circle is pushed down, it forms an ellipse which has two focal points.

Let me give you a general idea, if you want to draw a circle, you use just one point as centre whereas in an ellipse you need two points(not center) in this case. Just focal points
