Question 267155: what is the area of an ellipse with the major axis 20m and the minor axis 10m?
Answer by drk(1908)   (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The formula for area of ellipse is

where a and b are major and minor axis
* Note if a = r and b = r as in a circle, then the area would be pir^2
---
1/2 major = 10
1/2 minor = 5
so,

or
56.25*pi meters squared.
