The easiest way will be by editing Ellipse.

While drawing Ellipse, hold Shift in order to make Circle.
Transform it to Path, break the path at the lowest point and than spread these new two nodes.
You might need to adjust the curvature but it would be symmetrical.

If you aimed for an uneven or sketchy path, try with brushes or some other way to edit the path.
:tool_zoom: <<< click! - but, those with a cheaper tickets should go this way >>> :!:
