Abstract

Ellipse is one of the conic sections,it is sort of elongated circle. It is the locus of a point that moves in such a way that the ratio of its distance from a fixed point to its distance from a fixed point to its distance from a fixed line equals to constant 'e'. According to Keplar's law of planetary motion,the ellipse is very important in the field of Astronomy. The author has developed a new theorem for a new property of ellipse.
