Question 118
The length of the major axis is 12 cm and that of the minor axis is 2.8 cm. What is the area (in $$cm^2$$) of the ellipse?
Solution
Area of ellipse is: $$\pi\ ab$$, where a and b are the half of the length of major and minor axis.
Substituting a with 6 and b with 1.4 ($$\pi$$ being 3.14), we get the area as 26.4 approximately.
