well, an oval is a curved shape like the circle, so we use the same basic principle of πr² (or pi multiplied by (radius squared)). however, unlike the circle, the oval as two differing radii (plural of radius!) so we have to take that into account and adjust our formula accordingly. so the formula instead of squaring one radius, we measure both radii (horizontal radius * vertical radius) an then we multiply that by pi. the simple form of the formula is:
π*(r1*r2)
r1= horizontal radius
r2= vertical radius
π is the symbol for pi
hope that helps!

What is the area of an 6 x 9 inch oval?
A 6 x 9 inch oval is a 3 inch x 3 inch square with a semicircle of 3 inch radius at each end. The total area is, therefore, 9 + 9*pi = 27.3 sq inches. Note that an oval is NOT an ellipse.

What is the Surface area of an oval table?
the formula for calculating the surface area of an oval is A = Pi * a * b where a & b are the semimajor(half the long) and semiminor(half the short) axes
How do you calculate the shaded area of a half oval?
An oval, or more technically an ellipse, has a long ( major) axis and short (minor axis). If major axis length is a and minor length is b, then area, A is A = pi*a*b /4 where and so the area of half an oval is pi*a*b/8
