A step-by-step guide on how to use the MathCalc ellipse calculator
Step by step:
- Enter the semi-major axis (a) in the 1st box.
- Enter the semi-minor axis (b) in the 2nd box.
- After entering the values, click calculate, and in a few seconds, you will see the result.
Example 1: Enter 5 in the semi-major axis and 3 in the semi-minor axis.
Step by step:
- Ellipse calculations
- Semi-major axis (a) = 5
- Semi-minor axis (b) = 3
- Area formula: A = π × a × b
- Area = π × 5 × 3 = 47.1239
- Circumference (Ramanujan's approximation) = 25.527
- Eccentricity = √(1 - (b/a)²) = √(1 - (3/5)²) = 0.8
- Focal distance = √(a² - b²) = √(5² - 3²) = 4
result:
- Area: 47.1239 square units
- Circumference: 25.527 units (approx)
- Eccentricity: 0.8
- Focal distance: 4 units
Example 2: Enter 10 in the semi-major axis and 4 in the semi-minor axis.
Step by step:
- Ellipse calculations
- Semi-major axis (a) = 10
- Semi-minor axis (b) = 4
- Area formula: A = π × a × b
- Area = π × 10 × 4 = 125.6637
- Circumference (Ramanujan's approximation) = 46.0262
- Eccentricity = √(1 - (b/a)²) = √(1 - (4/10)²) = 0.9165
- Focal distance = √(a² - b²) = √(10² - 4²) = 9.1652
result:
- Area: 125.6637 square units
- Circumference: 46.0262 units (approx)
- Eccentricity: 0.9165
- Focal distance: 9.1652 units

FAQ
Which formulas does the MathCalc ellipse calculator use?
It uses the ellipse area formula = π × a × b and the circumference formula = π[3(a+b)−(3a+b)(a+3b)]. Where a is the semi-major axis and b is the semi-minor axis.
What are the semi-major and semi-minor axes?
The semi-major axis (a) is the longest radius from the center to the edge of the ellipse. The semi-minor axis (b) is the shortest radius from the center to the edge.
