Major Axis of Ellipse given Area and Minor Axis Calculator

Calculate Major Axis of Ellipse





Formula

The formula to calculate the Major Axis of an Ellipse given the Area and Minor Axis is:

\[ 2a = \frac{4A}{\pi \cdot 2b} \]

Definition

The Major Axis of an Ellipse is the length of the chord passing through both foci of the ellipse. The Area of an Ellipse is the total quantity of plane enclosed by the boundary of the ellipse. The Minor Axis of an Ellipse is the length of the longest chord which is perpendicular to the line joining the foci of the ellipse.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ 2a = \frac{4 \cdot 190}{\pi \cdot 12} = 20.1596261249734 \]

The Major Axis of the Ellipse is 20.1596261249734 meters.
