Given the equation for an ellipse, find the length of the major axis:
Re-arrange this to the standard form of the equation of an ellipse with major axis on the x-axis: where a = the semi-major axis and b = the semi-minor axis.
Divide both sides by 12.
Simplify the left side.
Compare with the standard form:

Take the square root of both sides.
This is the length of the semi-major axis.
This is the length of the major axis.
