Where to put apostrophe in the word Elipse?

Hello, I can't seem to figure this out. I want to write the following sentance where the word "elipse" needs to have posession:

A circle's X and Y radii will be equal; an elipse's will be different.

The apostrophe needs to indicate the X and Y radii belong to the elipse. Do I have it correct? Please help. Thank you.
