How do you draw an ellipse using the rhomboid method?

To draw an ellipse using the rhomboid method, start by drawing a rectangle that will contain the ellipse. Divide the rectangle into a rhomboid (a parallelogram) by drawing two diagonals that intersect at the center. Next, mark points on the sides of the rectangle and connect these points to the corners of the rhomboid, ensuring the lines curve smoothly. Finally, adjust the curve to meet the rectangle's edges, creating the elliptical shape.
