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.
