Ellipse Locus Construction from Two Concentric Circles

2013-12-04 09:28
This applet demonstrates how to construct the locus of an ellipse using two concentric circles and geometric constructions. By taking points on the concentric circles and drawing corresponding orthogonal lines and intersections, it visually illustrates the geometric meaning and generation process of the parametric equations of an ellipse. Ideal for teaching coordinate geometry and parametric curve
