Area of circle= $\"%28pi%29r%5E2\"$ = $\"%28pi%29%28100%29\"$ = $\"314.1593\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Area of ellipse= $\"%28pi%29AB\"$ = $\"%28pi%29%2810%2F2%29%286%2F2%29\"$ = $\"%28pi%29%285%29%283%29\"$ = $\"47.1239\"$
\n" ); document.write( "For the ellipse, the value for 'A' is half the major axis. Same rule for 'B'. \n" ); document.write( "
