Outrageously Funny Word Dictionary :: Elliptical

👉 Ellipticalness is a mathematical concept that refers to the property of an object or shape being bent when rotated around its center. It can be defined as the ratio of the distance from the center to any point on the circumference of the ellipse to the radius of the ellipse, which is the same for all ellipses (i.e., it's a constant). Ellipticalness helps in understanding how an object or shape behaves when rotated about its center.

ellipticalness

👉 Elliptic, a mathematical concept, refers to a shape that is bent or curved in some way. It's named after the Latin word for "ellipse" which means "circle with an oval." Ellipses are defined as curves where the distance from any point on the curve to another point on the curve equals a constant value, known as the eccentricity of the curve.

👉 Elliptical is a geometric figure with two parallel lines and one point of intersection. It can be defined as a curve that has both an eccentricity (the ratio between the distance from the focus to the directrix) and an eccentricity (the angle subtended by the chord at the center). This defines it as a conic section.
