ii) the area of the parallelogram formed by the tangents at the end of diameters is constant.

Let P : (x´, y´) be point on the ellipse and the tangent and normal meet the axis in T and G respectively and let PN be the ordinate of P. If S be the focus of the ellipse then and the tangent and normal at P bisect the external and internal angles between the focal distances of P.

Let S and S´ be the two foci of an ellipse and  be perpendiculars from the foci upon the tangents at any point P of the ellipse, then show that Y and Y´ lie on the auxiliary circle, and . Also show that  are parallel.
