If it is an elliptic oval, the circumference can be calculated by πab, where a and b are the lengths of the minor and major axes.

What is the perimeter or circumference of an oval or ellipse?

It isn't possible to give a generalised formula for the circumference of an ellipse in terms of elementary functions. The circumference (or perimeter) of an oval is represented by an infinite series based on multiple aspects of the oval including: * Eccentricity * Implied length ("major radius") * Implied width ("minor radius")

How long and how wide would you make an oval track to get 220yrds?

If you use the formula for determining the circumference of a circle, C=pi*diameter, you can calculate the "ends" of the oval and then determine how long the sides of the oval need to be. For example, if the distance between the 2 long parallel sides of the oval is 20 yards, the circumference of a circle with the diameter of 20 yards is 63 yards (actually 62.8). If you dissect the circle and use one side for one end of the oval and the other side for the other end, you end can figure out how long the parallel sides would need to be. Calculate the length of the 2 sides, subtract 63 yards, the measurement of the 2 ends of the oval, from 220. This would be 157 yards. Then divide 157 by 2 to get the length of the 2 sides of the oval. This would be 78.5 yards. Therefore, the dimensions of this oval would be 20 yards wide by 98.5 yards.


How do you calculate circumference?

to calculate circumference you find a circles radius or diameter. you do diameter times pi or radius times 2 times pi. the you have circumference!

How do you you do circumference 6''?

The answer will depend on what is meant by "how do you you do" or even "how do you do". I do not do circumference. A can draw it, I can calculate it, I can calculate other measures (area, radius, diameter) from it but I do not DO it!
