Creating split ellipse using tikz, arc

I am trying to create an ellipse (split) using tikz and arc command.

Semi-major axis a = 5 Semi-minor axis b = 3

Coordinates of various points: O(0,0); A(4.797,0.846); B(0.526,2.983); C(-0.526,2.983); D(-4.797,0.846); E(-4.797,0.846); F(-0.526,-2.983); G(0.526,-2.983); H(4.797,-0.846);

Angle made by OA with x-axis is 10 degree Angle made by OB with x-axis is 80 degree Angle made by OC with x-axis is 100 degree Angle made by OD with x-axis is 170 degree Angle made by OE with x-axis is 190 degree Angle made by OF with x-axis is 260 degree Angle made by OG with x-axis is 280 degree Angle made by OH with x-axis is 350 degree

I have used the following and the result also attached.

\begin{tikzpicture}
\draw (4.797,0.846) arc(10:80:5cm and 3 cm); \draw (-0.526,2.983) arc(100:170:5cm and 3 cm); \end{tikzpicture}

Kindly suggest corrections to create correct split ellipse.

May I suggest that you just mirror one ellipse with scope: For the lines that became thicker i used \edge.

\draw[] (0,0)-- +(4.79,0.85) edge[thick] (8,1.45); % A line
\draw[] (0,0)-- +(0.75,3.28) edge[thick] (1,4.5); % B line
\draw[<->,>=stealth] (8,0) arc(0:28:2cm and 3 cm) node[midway,xshift=10pt]{10°};
\draw[<->,>=stealth] (7,0) arc(0:80:7.25cm and 4.5 cm) node[midway,yshift=10pt]{80°};

% mirror ellipse
\begin{scope}[yscale=1,xscale=-1]
\draw[thick] (4.797,0.846) arc(10:80:5cm and 3 cm);
\node[xshift=-5pt](a) at (4.79,0.85) {D};

\draw[] (4.79,0.85) -- (0,0);
\draw[] (0.75,3.28) -- (0,0);
\end{scope}

% mirror ellipse
\begin{scope}[yscale=-1,xscale=-1]
\draw[thick] (4.797,0.846) arc(10:80:5cm and 3 cm);
\node[xshift=-5pt](a) at (4.79,0.85) {E};

% mirror ellipse

\draw[] (4.79,0.85) -- (0,0);

\node[xshift=7pt,yshift=-7pt](o) at (0,0) {O};

• Thank you, your solution works! – ltxEnthu Mar 23 at 3:24
• I recommend you use polar coordinates for all of your coordinates. For example, point A at (4.79,0.85) can be replaced with (10:5 and 3). – Sandy G Mar 23 at 3:59

Following code generated required image. Thank you all. I now better appreciate the scope and scale commands.

% original ellipse
\draw[line width=1.5pt] (10:5 and 3) arc(10:80:5cm and 3 cm);

% mirror ellipse
\begin{scope}[yscale=1,xscale=-1]
\draw[line width=1.5pt] (10:5 and 3) arc(10:80:5cm and 3 cm);
\end{scope}

% mirror ellipse
\begin{scope}[yscale=-1,xscale=-1]
\draw[line width=1.5pt] (10:5 and 3) arc(10:80:5cm and 3 cm);
\end{scope}

% mirror ellipse
\begin{scope}[yscale=-1,xscale=1]
\draw[line width=1.5pt] (10:5 and 3) arc(10:80:5cm and 3 cm);
\end{scope}
