Question

Find the area of the following ellipse Use = 3.14 and round to nearest tenth. a = 8 in.; b = 7 in. area = sq. in.

Answer 1

= 175.84
`inch^(2)`

Explanation:

An ellipse is given with two axis a = 8 and b = 7

We have to find the area of the ellipse.

Since area of an ellipse =
`\pi` × a × b

by putting values in the formula

Area =
`\pi` × 8 × 7 = 56
`\pi`

= 56 (3.14)

= 175.84
`inch^(2)`

Answer 2

area = PI x a x b

area = 3.14 x 8 x 7 = 175.84 square inches
round the answer as needed.
