Answer 1

Help me please

Answer 2

As you must be knowing that an ellipse has two radius, one smaller than the other. The rx attribute defines the horizontal radius
The ry attribute defines the vertical radius

<svg height="150" width="500">
<ellipse cx="240" cy="100" rx="220" ry="30" style="fill:purple" />

Play with different values of rx and ry to fully understand how it works. playing with different values will help you understand how change in values impact the shape.
