    Following Problem:

    I know:
    a; h; b;

    I need to know r(h) for the left side of the ellipse ...
    Someone can do this?
    didn't get this xD

    btw:
    e = sqrt(a²-r²)
    the lenght of the yellow line = const and exact 2*a all the time ...
    so u can use it, if u need ...

    oh lol ... now i got it :D

    r = sqrt(b² - ((-a + h)² * b²)/a²)

    // solved

    because of:

    x²/a² + y²/b² = 1
