An ellipse is a curved shape that is elongated but has no sharp corners or angles. To construct an ellipse, first choose two points to act as focal points and place them on either side of a sheet of paper. Then use a string tied between a pencil and held taut between the two focal points to trace out the curved shape of the ellipse as you move the pencil along the string.
