 * -€LL¡¶§€$-**

An **ellipse** is a regular oval shape, traced by a point moving in a plane so that the sum of its distances from two other points (the foci) is constant, or resulting when a cone is cut by an oblique plane that does not intersect the base.

__**Ellipse Haikus:**__

//I am an ellipse I am a perfect oval I am a conic//

//An oval-like shape A stretched circle's what I am A comet's orbit// -Nick Bennett

//Three Haikus for Dan Extra credit is hoped for I could use it now// -Nick Benentt
