You know the formula for the area of a circle of radius R. It is Pi*R2.
But what about the formula for the area of an ellipse of semi-major axis of length A and semi-minor axis of length B? (These semi-major axes are half the lengths of, respectively, the largest and smallest diameters of the ellipse--- see Figure 1.)
For example, the following is a standard equation for such an ellipse centered at the origin:
(x2/A2) + (y2/B2) = 1.
The area of such an ellipse is
Area = Pi * A * B ,
a very natural generalization of the formula for a circle!
What else can I help you with?
What is the formula for finding the area of an ellipse?
the formula for finding the area of an ellipse is add it then multiply and subtract that is the final
Is the formula for finding the area of an oval the same as the formula for finding the area of a circle?
No because the formula for finding the area of an oval, which is an ellipse, is quite different
What is the formula for finding the volume of an ellipse?
An ellipse is 2-dimensional; it has no volume. The area of an ellipse is pi * A * B, where A and B are the lengths of its axes.
What is the formula for the area of an ellipse?
The formula for an ellipse is (x/a)2 + (y/b)2 = c2 where a and b are the lengths of the semi-axes and c is a constant.
What is the formula of volume of ellipse?
An ellipse is a 2-dimensional figure and so the formula isVolume = 0.

What is the formula for the area of a ellipse?
It is pi*a*b where a and b are the lengths of the semi-major and semi-minor axes.
How would finding the area of a square be the as finding the area of a rectangle?
Squares are rectangles so the formula for area will stay the same.
Which formula for the area of a parallogram is similar to a rectangle circle triangle ellipse or trapezoid?
Rectangle Area of parallelogram = Base * Height Area of rectangle = Base * Height
What the formula for finding the area of a rectangle?
Area of a rectangle: a = l * w
What is the formula for finding the area of a retangle?
Area = Length x Width
What is the formula of finding the area of a rectangle?
base times height = area
