Definition
The eccentricity of an ellipse is the ratio of the distances from the centre of the ellipse to one of the foci and to one of the vertices of the ellipse (eccentricity is denoted by e) i.e., e = `c/a.`
Then since the focus is at a distance of c from the centre, in terms of the eccentricity the focus is at a distance of ae from the centre.
