In the previous exercises, you have already learned about the two conic sections called 'circle' and 'parabola'. In the NCERT solutions for Class 11 Maths chapter 11 exercise 11.3, you will learn about another conic section called 'Ellipse'. An ellipse is the set of all points in a plane, the sum of whose distances from two fixed points in the plane is a constant. There are two axes of the ellipse called the major axis and minor axis. In the Class 11 Maths chapter 11 exercise 11.3, you will also learn about the semi-minor axis, semi-major axis, and the relationship between the semi-minor axis and semi-major axis.

Some special cases of an ellipse, the eccentricity of an ellipse, standard equations of an ellipse, the latus rectum of an ellipse are also covered in the Class 11 Maths chapter 11 exercise 11.3 solutions. Many real-world situations like orbits of planets, orbits of satellites, orbits of moons, some airplane wings are represented by an ellipse. It has a lot of applications in the field of science, research, and design. There are some definitions, theories, and observations related to the ellipse is given in the NCERT textbook before this exercise.

The set of all points in a plane, the sum of whose distances from two fixed points in the plane is a constant is called an ellipse.
The centre of the ellipse is the mid-point of the line segment joining the foci.
The major axis of an ellipse is a line segment passing through the foci of the ellipse.
The minor axis of an ellipse is a line segment passing through the centre and perpendicular to the major axis.
The Latus rectum of an ellipse is a line segment passing through the foci and perpendicular to the major axis whose endpoints lie on the ellipse.
