Ellipse Formula
Ellipse is somewhat similar to a circle which is stretched along its diameter. It is a 2-D figure so its area and perimeter can easily be calculated.
Let’s learn about the area and perimeter of the ellipse in detail.
Area of Ellipse
As we know the area of the circle is calculated using its radius, whereas the area of the ellipse depends on the length of the minor axis and major axis.
Area of circle = πr2
Area of ellipse = π × Semi-Major Axis × Semi-Minor Axis
Area of ellipse = πab
where,
a is the minor axis
b is the major axis
Perimeter of Ellipse
Perimeter of an ellipse is the total length of the curve boundary. An ellipse has two axes, the major axis and the minor axis, both axis cross through the centre and intersects each other. The approximate formula to find the perimeter of an ellipse is:
P = 2π√{( a2 + b2) / 2}
where,
a is the minor axis
b is the major axis
Ellipse
An ellipse is the locus of all points on a plane with constant distances from two fixed points in the plane. The fixed points encircled by the curve are known as foci (singular focus). The constant ratio is the eccentricity of the ellipse and the fixed line is the directrix. In this article, we will learn about the ellipse in detail.
