Calculate Minor Axis of Ellipse



Formula

The formula to calculate the Minor Axis of an Ellipse is:

\[ 2b = 2 \cdot b \]

Definition

The Minor Axis of an Ellipse is the length of the longest chord which is perpendicular to the line joining the foci of the ellipse. The Semi Minor Axis of an Ellipse is half of the length of the longest chord which is perpendicular to the line joining the foci of the ellipse.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following value:

Using the formula:

\[ 2b = 2 \cdot 6 = 12 \]

The Minor Axis of the Ellipse is 12 meters.
