The moment of inertia of an ellipse about its major axis (x-axis) is given by the equation I = πab^3/4, where a is the length of the semi-major axis and b is the length of the semi-minor axis of the ellipse.

Yes.
A
The area of an ellipse with a major axis 20 m and a minor axis 10 m is: 157.1 m2
Ellipse formula, centered at the origin, where the vertical axis is the major axis: x2/b2 + y2/a2 = 1, a > b Since the major axis is 8, then a = 4. Since the minor axis is 4, then b = 2. Thus, the equation of the ellipse is: x2/4 + y2/16 = 1.
The major axis and the minor axis.
An ellipse is the set of each and every point in a place such that the sum of the distance from the foci is constant, Major Axis of the ellipse is the part from side to side the center of ellipse to the larger axis, or the length of that sector. The major diameter is the largest diameter of an ellipse. Below equation is the standard ellipse equation: X2/a + Y2/b = 1, (a > b > 0)
By taking a coordinate system with origin at the center of the ellipse, and x-axis along the major axis, and y-axis along the minor axis, then the ellipse intercepts the x-axis at -5 and 5, and the y-axis at -2 and 2. So that the equation of the ellipse x2/a2 + y2/b2 = 1 becomes x2/52 + y2/22 = 1 or x2/25 + y2/4 = 1.
If an ellipse has a radius A long the x-axis and B along the y-axis (A > B) then the moment of inertia about the x-axis is 0.25*pi*ab^3
This ellipse is centered at the origin and has a horizontal axis of length 26 and a vertical axis of length 12 What is its equation?
The major axis is the line that joins the two foci (focuses) of the ellipse. If all you have is a picture of an ellipse and you don't know where the foci are, you can still find the major axis in a few seconds: It's the longest possible line that you can draw completely inside the ellipse, and it's the line straight across the ellipse between the two opposite "points of the egg".
