1. Measure the short radius and the long radius. The short radius is the shortest straight-line distance between a point on the oval and the center of the oval; the long radius is the longest straight-line distance between the center of the oval and a point on the oval.
2. Double both of those numbers.
3. Square the doubled numbers.
4. Add the squared numbers together.
5. Divide by 2.
6. Find the square root of Step 5.
7. Multiply Step 6 by pi.
Possible solution:
1. 3 and 5
2. 6 and 10
3. 36 and 100
4. 136
5. 68
6. 8.25
7. 25.905

What is the true way to find the circumference of a oval?
Not quite sure what you mean by "true way". You can measure it with a string or a similar flexible object. Or you can measure length and width, and - assuming it is an ellipse - use the formula for the circumference of an ellipse - or rather, an approximation formula.
How do you find a circumference?
Circumference of a circle is pi * diameter. Diameter is 2 * radius. So if you know the radius, circumference is 2 * pi * radius. Now choose an appropriate approximation for pi (3.14, or 3.1416, or even the fraction 22/7), depending on your application. This will work for ANY circle, no matter how big or small it is, as long as it's a true circle and not a different elliptical shape, e.g. an oval.
What is the difference between an ellipse and an oval?
An ellipse always has two axes of reflection; an oval has one or more.So, an egg-shape is an oval, but not an ellipse.In short an ellipse is an oval, but an oval may or may not be an ellipse.
What is a true oval?
True oval have no sharp corners
Does an oval have a three dimensional shape?
An oval is two-dimensional. An ovoid is a three-dimensional shape based on an oval - like an egg,
