Ellipse Area Calculator
Calculate ellipse area using semi-major and semi-minor axes.
Enter semi-major and semi-minor axes to calculate area
The area of an ellipse is calculated by multiplying π (pi) by the semi-major axis and semi-minor axis:
- 1
Semi-Major Axis (a): The longest radius of the ellipse
- 2
Semi-Minor Axis (b): The shortest radius of the ellipse
- 3
π (pi): A mathematical constant approximately equal to 3.14159
An ellipse with a semi-major axis of 5 meters and a semi-minor axis of 3 meters has an area of approximately 47.12 square meters: π × 5 × 3 ≈ 47.12.
