- Ellipse sector (a two-dimensional figure) is a part of the interior of an ellipse having two radius boundries and an arc.
- Sector is a fraction of the area of a ellipse with a radius on each side and an edge.
- Major axis is always the longest axis in an ellipse.
- Minor axis is always the shortest axis in an ellipse.
- Semi-major axis is half of the longest axis of an ellipse.
- Semi-minor axis is half of the shortest axis of an ellipse
