First box choices:
a. 0.71
b. 0.91
c. 1.10
Second box choices:
a. Circular than elongated
b. Elongated than circular
x^2 y^2
___ + ____ = 1
50 9
The eccentricity, e, is given by c / a
c = sqrt [ a^2 - b^2 ] = sqrt [ 50 - 9 ] = sqrt (41)
a = sqrt (50)
So
e = sqrt (41) / sqrt (50) ≈ .906 = .91
As e approaches 0, we have a more circular than eongated ellipse
As e approaches 1, we have a more eongated than circular ellipse
So....this one is more elongated than circular
