Answer:

Therefore, the area of the ellipse is:

Area = 78.5 inches

Explanation:

The formula to find the area of the ellipse is


\:a\:* \:b\:* \:\pi

The major axis of an ellipse = 25 inches

The minor axis of an ellipse = 4 inches

  • The value of a = major axis/2 = 25/2 = 12.5 inches
  • The value of b = minor axis/2 = 4/2 = 2 inches

Thus

The area of the ellipse:

Area =
\:a\:* \:b\:* \:\pi


=\:12.5\:*\:2\:*\:\pi


=25\pi


=78.5 inches ∵
\pi =3.14

Therefore, the area of the ellipse is:

Area = 78.5 inches
