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)
