  • Ellipse segment (a two-dimensional figure) is an interior part of an ellipse bound by a chord and an ellipse.
  • Chord is a line segment on the interior of the ellipse.
  • 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.
