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)}]

Is the formula for finding the area of an oval the same as the formula for finding the area of a circle?

No because the formula for finding the area of an oval, which is an ellipse, is quite different

How do you calculate the area of a half oval?

To calculate the area of a half oval, you can use the formula A = (π * r^2) / 2, where A is the area and r is the radius of the oval. First, determine the radius of the half oval. Then, square the radius and multiply it by π. Finally, divide the result by 2 to find the area of the half oval.

What is the area of an oval shape?

"Oval" is an imprecise term. It could be an ellipse, where the shape has a curved boundary all the way round or it could be like a running track: two semicircles with straight line segments joining them. The formula for the area will be different.

What is the formula to calculate the area of 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 x a x b /4 where pi = 3.14 (approx)


Is there an easy way to work out the volume of water in liters of an oval water tank?

If the oval tank is standing with the water level parallel to the oval bottom then the surface area of the oval times the water depth is the volume. V = A x h Oval is an unprecise term. If you had said elliptical it would be easier knowing the major and minor axes. If the tank is lying down, or at any other angle than standing up, with the water surface NOT parallel to the oval bottom it becomes rather difficult.


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.
