                   b.  Construct an ellipse using concentric circle method
































               Steps:

                   1.   Given major diameter CD and minor diameter AB.
                   2.  Join the point A and C with a line.
                   3.  Draw an arc with point O/T as the centre and radius OC and extend line AO to locate
                       point E.
                   4.  Draw an arc with point A as the centre and radius AE to locate point F.
                   5.  Drae the perpendicular bisectorn of line CF to locate points G and H.
                   6.  Mirror GH to the minor and minor axis to get the point K and L.

                   7.  Draw arcs with G and K as centre and radius HA and EB to complete the ellipse.
