Question

Find the area of the following ellipse (round to nearest tenth).

2a = 10 cm; 2b = 24 cm.

Area = ? cm2

Answer 1

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{A=60\pi cm^2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of an area of a elipse:

$A=\pi ab$

We have:

$2a=10cm\to a=5cm\\\\2b=24cm\to b=12cm$

Substitute:

$A=\pi\dot5\cdot12=60\pi(cm^2)$
