Latus Rectum of Ellipse given Semi Latus Rectum Calculator

Calculate Latus Rectum of Ellipse



Formula

The formula to calculate the Latus Rectum of an Ellipse given the Semi Latus Rectum is:

\[ 2l = 2 \times l \]

Definition

The Latus Rectum of an Ellipse is the line segment passing through any of the foci and perpendicular to the major axis whose ends are on the Ellipse. The Semi Latus Rectum of an Ellipse is half of the line segment passing through any of the foci and perpendicular to the major axis whose ends are on the Ellipse.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following value:

Using the formula:

\[ 2l = 2 \times 4 = 8 \text{ Meter} \]

The Latus Rectum of the Ellipse is 8 Meter.
