Question 1113154: What is the area of a section bounded by a closed elliptical whose major and minor segments measure 60 cm and 45 cm respectively? Please explain. Answer by ikleyn(52778) (Show Source):
Ellipse has NO major and minor segments.
It is WRONG terminology.
Ellipse has major and minor axes, as well as semi-major and semi-minor axes, instead.
If the semi-major and semi-minor axes are a= 60 cm and b= 45 cm,
then the area of the ellipse is Area = = 3.14*60*45 cm^2.
