All the points of a circles circumferance are equidistant from the centre. If you make a shape with 2 focus points,Foci, then you will have an Oval or Elipse.

Basically it is egg shaped.

Some Cricket grounds are called the oval, Kennington in London & Kensingon in the West Indies, for example.

Rugby balls are oval, or ovoid in shape.

Most sports stadiums are 'the oval' because they are oval in shape.

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


What do you call the half of a oval?

The half of an oval is typically referred to as a "semi-oval" or "semi-ellipse," depending on the specific shape of the oval. If the oval is symmetrical, such as an ellipse, the term "semi-ellipse" is more precise. In general, cutting an oval in half results in two mirrored halves that retain the overall curvature of the original shape.


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,


What is the formula for finding surface area of an oval?

An Oval is not a shape that has a mathematical definition, because ovals can be different shapes and not necessarily symmetrical. An exception is the Ellipse which has a precise definition. An ellipse is a shape with two points called the focuses, and the sum of the distances from the two focuses is constant, and you would probably call it an oval. The ellipse has two axes at right angles, and they are called the major axis (a) which passes through the two focuses, and the minor axis (b) which passes through the center point between the focuses. The circumference of an ellipse is given by equation: C = 3.142 x [ 3(a + b) - Square root{(3a + b)(a + 3b)}]
