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)
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
The Ellipse is an elliptical shaped park that is between the White House and the Washington Monument.
the ellipse is an egg shaped park. 2 buildings that flank it are the white house and the washington monument
