Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The foci of the ellipse are the two reference points that help in drawing the ellipse. The foci of the ellipse lie on the major axis of the ellipse and are equidistant from the origin. An ellipse represents the locus of a point, the sum of the whose distance from the two fixed points are a constant value.
Detailed explanation-2: -The foci always lie on the major (longest) axis, spaced equally each side of the center. If the major axis and minor axis are the same length, the figure is a circle and both foci are at the center. Reshape the ellipse above and try to create this situation.
