1.2 Auxilia Ry (Concen Ntric) Circle e Method

The document describes four methods for constructing ellipses: 1) using radial lines and the major and minor diameters, 2) using concentric circles with the diameters, 3) drawing an approximate ellipse using arcs of circles, and 4) using a trammel (strip of paper) marked with the major and minor axes.

1.3 To Draw w an Approoximate Elllipse


i. Draww major and minor axess AB and CD D intersectinng at O
ii. Join AC
A with a light construuction line
iiii. With O as and O OA as radiuss, strike the arc AE
iv. With C as centerr and CE as radius, strikke the arc EF
v. Draww perpendicuular bisectorr GH of the line AF; the points K aand J, wheree it intersectts
the axxes are the ccenters of thhe required arcs

i. Draww major and minor axes aat right angles, as shown iin Fig. 1.5
ii. Usinng a strip of ppaper for a traammel mark on it half thee major and minor
m axes, bboth measureed
from
m the same ennd. Let the pooints on the trrammel be E,E F, and G.
iii. Posittion the tram
mmel on the ddrawing so thhat point F alw ways lies on the major axxis AB and
pointt G always liies on the minnor axis CD..
iv. Markk the point E with each poosition of thee trammel, annd connect thhese points too give the
required ellipse.
