Program to find the Eccentricity of an Ellipse

Given two positive integers A and B, representing the length of the semi-major and semi-minor axis of an ellipse of the equation , the task is to find the eccentricity of the given ellipse.

Examples:

Input: A = 12, B = 9
Output: 0.66

Input: A = 6, B = 3
Output: 0.87

Approach: The given problem can be solved based on the following formula to calculate the eccentricity of an ellipse which is given by:

where, 
A = Length of semi major axis
B = Length of semi minor axis

Therefore, print the value of  as the eccentricity of the ellipse.

Below is the implementation of the above approach:

C++

// C++ program for the above approach

#include <bits/stdc++.h>
using namespace std;

// Function to find the
// eccentricity of ellipse
void findEccentricity(double A,
                      double B)
{
    // Store the squares of length of
    // semi-major and semi-minor axis
    double semiMajor = A * A;
    double semiMinor = B * B;

    // Calculate the eccentricity
    double ans = sqrt(1 - semiMinor / semiMajor);

    // Print the result
    cout << fixed << setprecision(2)
         << ans;
}

// Driver Code
int main()
{
    double A = 12, B = 9;
    findEccentricity(A, B);

    return 0;
}

Java

// Java program for the above approach
import java.util.*;

class GFG{

// Function to find the
// eccentricity of ellipse
static void findEccentricity(double A, double B)
{
    // Store the squares of length of
    // semi-major and semi-minor axis
    double semiMajor = A * A;
    double semiMinor = B * B;

    // Calculate the eccentricity
    double ans = Math.sqrt(1 - semiMinor / semiMajor);

    // Print the result
    System.out.format("%.2f", ans);
}

// Driver Code
public static void main(String arr[])
{
    double A = 12, B = 9;
    findEccentricity(A, B);
}
}
