Area of an Oval Calculator

Formula

To calculate the Area of an Oval:

$A = \pi \times \frac{a}{2} \times \frac{b}{2}$

Where:

$A$ is the total area
$a$ is the major axis/diameter
$b$ is the minor axis/diameter

Area of an Oval Definition

An area oval is the same as describing the area of a symmetric ellipse and is a measure of the total area occupied by that shape with a defined major and minor axis.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Major Axis ( $a$ ) = 10 units
Minor Axis ( $b$ ) = 5 units

Using the formula:

$A = \pi \times \frac{10}{2} \times \frac{5}{2} = \pi \times 5 \times 2.5 \approx 39.27$

The area of the oval is approximately 39.27 square units.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Major Axis ( $a$ ) = 8 units
Minor Axis ( $b$ ) = 4 units

Using the formula:

$A = \pi \times \frac{8}{2} \times \frac{4}{2} = \pi \times 4 \times 2 \approx 25.13$

The area of the oval is approximately 25.13 square units.
