Answer:

Explanation:

The only difference between the circle and the ellipse is that in an ellipse, there are two radius measures, one horizontally along the x-axis, the other vertically along the y-axis. Clearly, for a circle both these have the same value. By convention, the y radius is usually called b and the x radius is called a.
