What is the formula for finding the area of an ellipse?
the formula for finding the area of an ellipse is add it then multiply and subtract that is the final
What is the circumference of an ellipse?
It isn't possible to give a generalised formula for the circumference of an ellipse in terms of elementary functions.
What is the mathematical shape of an egg?
I think it's an ellipse. Ellipse is most likely the closest shape of an egg.
How do you find the major axis in an ellipse?
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 two points define the shape of the ellipse?
The two foci are necessary to define the location of an ellipse, but the shape depends on the eccentricity, which is related to the lengths of the two axes.
