Answer to Problem 66E
The length of the strings in terms of
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
A string of fixed length and a pencil. When the ends of the string are fastened to the thumbtacks and the string is drawn taut with the pencil, the path traced by the pencil is an ellipse.
Calculation:
In an ellipse given by
(b)
To explain: the path is an ellipse.
(b)

Explanation of Solution
The sum of the distance from two fixed points is constant.
In the case of the ellipse
If
Therefore the path is an ellipse.
