it would be pi times the perpendicular length from the center to the shorter side times the perpendicular length from the center to the longer side.

What is the formulae to calculate the area of a segment of an ellipse?

Formula: a = pi * r1 * r2 a=area of the ellipser1=length of the semi-major axisr2=length of the semi-minor axispi=Π, approximately 3.1415927


How do you calculate the surface area of an oval shape 240metres by 140metres?

Where the question says "oval", we'll assume it's referring to an "ellipse".(Our main reason for doing that is the fact that we know the formula for the areaof an ellipse, so the light is better over there.)The area of an ellipse is: (pi) x (1/2 the long axis) x (1/2 the short axis)Area = (pi) x (120) x (70) = 26,389.4 square metres. (rounded)


How do you find the surface area of an ellipse?

An ellipse is a two dimensional shape, so it does not have a "surface area", only an "area". Any ellipse has two radii, the major one and the minor one. We'll call them R1 and R2. The area of the ellipse then can be calculated with the function: a = πR1R2 You will notice that this is the same equation as the area for a circle. The circle is a special case though, because it is an ellipse in which both axes are the same length. In that case, R1 equals R2, so we can simply call it r and say: a = πr2
