To draw an oval is really quite simple, don’t even consider the math, just draw what you want. For the how to, take a look at this site: http://www.mathopenref.com/constellipse1.html

But, to really make it easy, use a tool:

how to scribe an oval

capaletta — Tue, 20 Mar 2012 17:57:07 GMT

I know my geometry teacher would be ashamed but darned if I can remember how to do this. I need to scribe an oval to insert a sink into a counter top and the sink didn't come with a template. I remember a method using 2 nails and a lop of string but don't remember the measurements for placing the nails or loop of string. And yes I know I can flip the sink and draw the outline BUT I know the 'how to' will come in handy one of these days.

Any help would be appreciated
