Is it "from a point P outside e the two tangent" or "from a point P inside c and outside e the two tangent" ?
Ciao.

Re: Problem 246
I presume you are refering to problem #246, so I changed the title (was #245).
Point P is outside the ellipse.
Nothing is said and nothing can be assumed about its position with respect to the circle.

Re: Problem 246
Hi, when you say "lattice point", are you considering "points with integer coordinates"?
Thanks.
Thanks.

Re: Problem 246
Can someone confirm if I have the ellipse right.
semi major axis = 7500
semi minor axis = 5590.16...
Thank you.

Re: Problem 246
Yes, that's correct.
