What is the formula for calculating the eccentricity of an orbit?

Eccentricity = distance between foci (cm) / length of major axis (cm)

Eccentricity = length of minor axis (cm) / distance between foci (cm)

Eccentricity = length of major axis (cm) / length of minor axis (cm)

Eccentricity = distance between foci (cm) / length of minor axis (cm)
