In this figure the ellipse appearsmanifestly as the product of two projective pencils with A andE as vertices. In fact, {AMCH) = {KNCJ), since these points are projected by one and the same… … Fig. 54. to the Pascal Hne LI corresponds the point E on the ellipse.Now (AMCI) = {KNC^), and as AC = CIi these ratios become I AM KN2CM~ CN But there is also {AMCI) = (PF^C^)\ hence KN OF, CN~CF[ 142 PROJECTIVE GEOMETRY. From this it follows that the rays AN and EM of the pencilsthrough A and E…
