What is the name given to an oval shape?
There are several different "oval" shapes. A running track, which comprises two semicircles separated by two straight stretches is an oval. So is the cross section of an egg - a shape in which the cross-sectional width does not change uniformly. Another example is the ellipse. Because all these shapes are called ovals, there is no single name.
On a 400 meter oval track how many laps would equal 5 kilometers?
Well, darling, a 400 meter oval track means you have to run 2.5 laps to hit that 1 kilometer mark. So, to cover 5 kilometers, you'd need to strut your stuff for a grand total of 12.5 laps. So, lace up those shoes and get ready to make those laps your runway!
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 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.
