  • The image displays a cross-section of an elongated, ovoid shape, characteristic of an ellipsoid.
  • Vertical measurements are indicated by double-headed arrows, labeling the overall height as \(c\) from the top to the bottom of the shape.
  • A horizontal measurement, labeled \(a\), spans the width at the center of the shape.
  • A second vertical measurement, labeled \(h\), indicates the height of the lower, rounded portion of the shape.
  • The measurements \(c\), \(h\), and \(a\) are used to denote different dimensions across the figure.
