The major axis is the line that joins the two foci (focuses) of the ellipse.
If all you have is a picture of an ellipse and you don't know where the foci are, you can still find
the major axis in a few seconds: It's the longest possible line that you can draw completely inside
the ellipse, and it's the line straight across the ellipse between the two opposite "points of the egg".

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)
What is equal to the length of the major axis of an ellipse?
The length of the major axis of an ellipse is equal to twice the length of the semi-major axis. If the semi-major axis is denoted as "a," then the major axis length is 2a. This axis is the longest diameter of the ellipse, stretching from one end of the ellipse to the other through the center.
How do you find the focus from the major axis of an ellipse?
To find the focus of an ellipse from its major axis, first identify the lengths of the semi-major axis (a) and the semi-minor axis (b). The distance from the center to each focus (c) can be calculated using the formula (c = \sqrt{a^2 - b^2}). The foci are located along the major axis, at coordinates ((\pm c, 0)) if the ellipse is centered at the origin and aligned with the x-axis.
Does the foci of an ellipse lie on the major axis of the ellipse?
yes
What is the value of moment of inertia of ellipse about x-Axis?
Moment of inertia about x-axis for an ellipse is = pi*b^3*a /4. Where b is the distance from the center of the ellipse to the outside tip of the minor axis. a is the distance from the ceneter of the ellipse to the outside tip of the major axis. Moment of inertia about x-axis for an ellipse is = pi*b^3*a /4. Where b is the distance from the center of the ellipse to the outside tip of the minor axis. a is the distance from the ceneter of the ellipse to the outside tip of the major axis.
Is it true that the foci of an ellipse lie on the major axis of the ellipse?
Yes.
What is the area of an ellipse with the major axis 20 m and the minor axis 10 m?
The area of an ellipse with a major axis 20 m and a minor axis 10 m is: 157.1 m2
What are the two axes of an ellipse called?
The major axis and the minor axis.
What is the maximum length of an ellipse called?
major axis
What is an ellipse's maximum length called?
The maximum length of an ellipse is called its major axis. This is the longest diameter of the ellipse, running through its center and the two farthest points on the perimeter. The shorter diameter, perpendicular to the major axis, is known as the minor axis. Together, these axes define the shape and orientation of the ellipse.
When the denominator of the y2 term is greater than that of the x2 term Which is the major axis?
In the context of an ellipse, the vertical axis is the major axis.
No of axis in an ellipse?

How do you use a semi major axis?
To describe the size of an ellipse.
