How do we find the area of an ellipse? What we need is a handy formula, and that is exactly what we have! In today's video we will go over the formula for the area of an ellipse, talk a bit about why it works, and go over an example!

The formula for area, A, of an ellipse is A = pi*a*b where a is the length of the semi-major axis (half the length of the major axis) and b is the length of the semi-minor axis (half the length of the minor axis).

At the end of the video, I present an example exercise. The area of an ellipse with major axis length 10 cm and minor axis length 5 cm is pi*(1/2)*(10 cm)*(1/2)*(5 cm) = pi*(5 cm)*(2.5 cm) = 12.5*pi cm^2. This is approximately 39 cm^2.

I hope you find this video helpful, and be sure to ask any questions down in the comments!

I usually put my own music in the outros, but I love Vallow's music, and wanted to share it with those of you watching. Please check out all of his wonderful work.

I'm trying to figure out how much plastic to buy for a green house. I'm thinking if I use this equation then divide by half since it's not a full eclipse.? Or is there a more prolific equation I should use?

Got a question, if you squash a circle into an ellipse, will the area remain the same?

Can you make a video on the circumference of a circle!










Eg- how to find the circumference of diameter is given! 😊😊

a=1/2 5cm = 2.5cm
b=1/2 10cm = 5cm
A= [2.5cm] [5cm]
= 12.5 cm2
