Steps are given to draw an ellipse by trammel method. Arrange the steps.i.Place the trammel so that R is on the minor axis CD and Q on the major axis AB. Then P will be on the ellipse.ii.Draw two axes AB and CD intersecting each other at O.iii.By moving the trammel to new positions, always keeping R on CD and Q on AB, obtain other points and join those to get an ellipse.iv.Along the edge of a strip of paper which may be used as a trammel, mark PQ equal to half the minor axis and PR equal to half of major axis.

Geometrical Construction topics include: Parallel & perpendicular lines construction, drawing regular polygons and tangents, ellipse construction, parabola and hyperbola construction, cycloidal curves and spiral construction. Geometric construction is the process of creating geometric objects using a compass and a straightedge. It is a part of pure geometry, which does not use numbers, formulae, or a coordinate system.  Geometric construction involves drawing lines, line segments, shapes, circles, and other figures accurately using a ruler, a compass, or a protractor.  Related...
