Hello
I am wondering if there's a mathematical solution for dividing an ellipse into equal parts. I'm not talking about dividing the ellipse into "pie slices" with lines from the center to the perimeter, but instead by vertical or horizontal lines. I'm not looking for a solution that include weighing
To apply this to an everyday setting - imagine you have a lasagne in an elliptical dish and you want to divide it into let's say three equal sized pieces.
Is there a mathematical solutions to that when only knowing the length and the width? (I'm not looking for a solution that include weighing)
Picture attached for clarification
- Thanks
