    This document contains an assessment with multiple choice questions, modified true/false statements, and a problem solving section about ellipses. The multiple choice questions test knowledge about the key points of ellipses like foci, vertices, centers, and standard equations. The modified true/false statements require correcting inaccurate statements about ellipses, circles, and hyperbolas. The problem solving question provides context about a whispering gallery and asks to write the equation of an ellipse given its major and minor axis lengths.

    1. These are the two points inside of an ellipse.


    a. Foci c. Ellipse
    b. Parabola d. Vertex

    2. Which of the following is the standard equation of an ellipse centered at the


    origin?
    2 2 2 2
    x y x y
    a. 2 2 =1 c. 2 =2
    a b z

    x2 y 2 x2 y 2
    b. + =1 d. − =1
    a2 b 2 a2 b2

    3. Defined as the set of all points in a plane such that the sum of the distances from
    two points (foci) is a constant.
    a. Parabola c. Circle
    b. Hyperbola d. Ellipse

    a. 2 a c. 2 b
    2
    b. a d. b 2

    B. Modified True or False.


    Directions: Identify whether the given statement is true or false. If false, change
    the underlined word to make the statement correct.

    5. An ellipse may also be defined in terms of one focal point and a line outside the
    ellipse called the directrix. (TRUE)

    6. Ellipses may have similarities with parabolas and hyperbolas, both of which are
    open and unbounded.

    7. A circle is an ellipse with one focus which is the center. (TRUE)

    8. The minor axis is always bigger than the major axis. (TRUE)

    10.The center of the ellipse is the point of intersection between minor and major axis.
    C. Problem Solving.
    Directions: Read the problem and answer the questions that follow. Write your answer
    on the space provided.

    A whispering gallery is an elliptical-shaped


    room with a dome-shaped ceiling. If two people stand
    at the foci of the ellipse and whisper, they can hear
    each other, but others in the room cannot. Statuary
    Hall in the U.S. Capitol Building is a whispering
    gallery. The dimensions of the elliptical-shaped hall
    are 95 feet by 75 feet. Write an equation that models
    the shape of the hall.

    ( x−h )2 ( y−k )2
    Answer: + =1 ,a> b
    a2 b2
