The ratio of the area of triangle inscribed inellipse `(x^2)/(a^2)+(y^2)/(b^2)=1`to that of triangle formed by the corresponding points onthe auxiliary circle is 0.5. Then, find the eccentricity of the ellipse.

Answer» The given ratio is
`(b)/(a)=(1)/(2)`
Now, `e^(2)=1-(b^(2))/(a^(2))=1-(1)/(4)=(3)/(4)or e=(sqrt(3))/(2)`
