Question

The area, a, of an ellipse can be determined using the formula a=TTxy where x and y are half the lengths of the largest and smallest diameters of the ellipse. Which is an equivalent equation solved for y

Answer 1

`a=\pi xy`

To solve for y, divide both sides by
`\pi x`:


`y=(a)/(\pi x)`

Answer 2

Area of an ellipse(a), ,having x and y being the lengths of the largest and smallest diameters of the ellipse = π xy

The lengths of the largest and smallest diameters of the ellipse is called Major Axis and Minor axis of the ellipse.

`\rightarrow a=\pi x y\\\\\rightarrow y=(a)/(\pi * x)`
