Calculate Semi Minor Axis of Ellipse



Formula

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

\[ b = \frac{2b}{2} \]

Definition

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. 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.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following value:

Using the formula:

\[ b = \frac{12}{2} = 6 \]

The Semi Minor Axis of the Ellipse is 6 meters.
