Calculate Major Axis of Ellipse



Formula

The formula to calculate the Major Axis of an Ellipse is:

\[ 2a = 2 \cdot a \]

Definition

The Major Axis of an Ellipse is the length of the chord passing through both foci of the ellipse. The Semi Major Axis of an Ellipse is half of the chord passing through both foci of the ellipse.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following value:

Using the formula:

\[ 2a = 2 \cdot 10 = 20 \]

The Major Axis of the Ellipse is 20 meters.
