The major and minor axes of an ellipse are 25 inches and 4 inches in length, respectively. What is the area of the ellipse? Round to the nearest tenth

The answer to your question is Area = 78.5 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

Major axes = 25 in

Minor axes = 4 in

Area = ?

Formula

Area = a x b x π

Process

1. - Calculate a

a = Major axes / 2

= 25 / 2

= 12.5 in

2. - Calculate b

b = Minor axes / 2

= 4 / 2

= 2 in

3. - Substitution

Area = 12.5 x 2 x 3.14

4. - Result

Area = 78.5 in²
