62This is more a maths problem...
Not very easy ...
I will solve the first part then see if u can take it from there...
Take θ=0 and pi for finding 2a!
rsinθ will give the height..
For maximum height find θ That will give u b
thus u can find the ellipse
1i got the the answer of the first part!!..
but i m not getting... dis rsinθ one... can u plz explain
