Page 142 - If a tangent to the ellipse meet the transverse axis produced, and from the point of contact an ordinate be drawn to the same axis ; then is the semitransverse axis a mean proportional between the distances from the centre to the intersections of the axis by the ordinate and tangent. That is, (Fig.
