What's the area of an ellipse with the major axis 20 m and the minor axis 10 m? round your answer to the nearest whole number. a. 50 m2 b. 314 m2 c. 200 m2 d. 628 m2

 157 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

1. To solve this problem you must apply the formula for calculat the area of an ellipse, which is shown below:

Where:

is the distance from the center to a vertex and is the distance from the center to a co-vertex.

2. So, you have:

3. Then, you must substitute the values of and into the formula shown above.

4. Therefore, you obtain that the result is:

628 m

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that,

the value of major axis of an eclipse = 20 m; and

the value of the minor axis of an eclipse = 10 m

The formula of finding the area of an eclipse is given below:

Area of an eclipse =

where a and b are the values for the major and minor axis (radius) of eclipse.

Area of an eclipse = = 628 m
