11. For comparison, the outer edge of light blue area is a circle of diameter equal to the minor axis . 12. The geometric mean of the two distances is the length of the semi-minor axis " b ". 13. The axial ratio is the ratio of the magnitudes of the major and minor axis defined by the electric field vector. 14. As the fields vary across the minor axis , q also varies and is often expressed as q ( r ). 15. However, Kerberos, although slightly larger, cannot make total eclipses as its largest minor axis is a mere 32 arcseconds. 16. It appears only slightly flattened, with the minor axis being about 89 % ?3 % as large as the major axis. 17. A circle is a type of ellipse ( where the minor axis equals the major axis and the two focus points coincide ). 18. The minor axis is the longest line segment perpendicular to the major axis that connects two points on the ellipse's edge. 19. There were also two stands located at both sides of the minor axis : one above the main entrance hall and another in front. 20. In an ellipse, the semi-minor axis is the geometric mean of the maximum and minimum distances of the ellipse from a directrix.
