Python Program to Calculate Area of an Ellipse

This Python program calculates are of an ellipse given length of major axis and minor axis.

In mathematics, ellipse is a regular oval shape which is traced by a point moving in a plane such that the sum of its distances from two other points known as foci is constant.

Python Source Code: Ellipse Area

# Reading length of major axis
major = float(input("Enter length of major axis: "))

# Reading length of minor axis
minor = float(input("Enter length of minor axis: "))

# Calculating area of an ellipse
area = 3.141592 * major * minor

# Displaying result
print("Area of an ellipse = ", area)

Output

Enter length of major axis: 8
Enter length of minor axis: 4
Area of an ellipse =  100.530944
