Are 3 times the squared lengths of the semi-major axis and semi-minor axis; the corresponding eigenvectors relate to the orientation.

Technical use rescue carabiners are required to have minimum breaking strengths of 27 kN gate closed, 7 kN gate open and 7 kN minor axis.
23.
General use rescue carabiners are required to have minimum breaking strengths of 40 kN gate closed, 11 kN gate open and 11 kN minor axis.
24.
And a and b are the equatorial radius ( semi-major axis ) and the polar radius ( semi-minor axis ), respectively.
25.
Replacing the circle with an ellipse rotated about its major axis, the shape becomes a prolate spheroid; rotated about the minor axis, an oblate spheroid.
26.
However, from the broader view of the complex plane, the minor axis of an hyperbola does intersect the hyperbola, but at points with complex coordinates.
27.
Moreover, the Adriatic's long and narrow rectangular shape is the source of an oscillating water motion ( ) along the basin's minor axis.
28.
The endpoints ( 0, \ pm b ) of the minor axis lie at the height of the asymptotes over / under the hyperbola's vertices.
29.
If the ellipse is rotated about its minor axis, the result is an "'oblate "'( flattened ) spheroid, shaped like a lentil.
30.
The semi-minor axis b is related to the semi-major axis a through the eccentricity e and the semi-latus rectum \ ell, as follows:
