2. Ellipse - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ellipse

   An ellipse (red) obtained as the intersection of a cone with an inclined plane. Ellipse: notations Ellipses: examples with increasing eccentricity. In mathematics, an ellipse is a plane curve surrounding two focal points, such that for all points on the curve, the sum of the two distances to the focal points is a constant.

3. Principal axis theorem - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principal_axis_theorem

   The equation is for an ellipse, since both eigenvalues are positive. (Otherwise, if one were positive and the other negative, it would be a hyperbola.) The principal axes are the lines spanned by the eigenvectors. The minimum and maximum distances to the origin can be read off the equation in diagonal form.

4. Six-dimensional space - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six-dimensional_space

   One example is the surface of the 6-sphere, S 6. This is the set of all points in seven-dimensional space (Euclidean) that are a fixed distance from the origin. This constraint reduces the number of coordinates needed to describe a point on the 6-sphere by one, so it has six dimensions.

5. Semi-major and semi-minor axes - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semi-major_and_semi-minor_axes

   The semi-minor axis of an ellipse runs from the center of the ellipse (a point halfway between and on the line running between the foci) to the edge of the ellipse. The semi-minor axis is half of the minor axis. The minor axis is the longest line segment perpendicular to the major axis that connects two points on the ellipse's edge.

6. Elementary mathematics - Wikipedia

   The term may be used either for the path or its length - it can be thought of as the length of the outline of a shape. The perimeter of a circle or ellipse is called its circumference. Area is the quantity that expresses the extent of a two-dimensional figure or shape.
