Ellipse Area and Dimensions Calculators

Overview:

Ellipse is a two-dimensional, oval-shaped geometric figure where the sum of the distances from any point on its curve to two fixed points, called foci, is constant. Unlike a circle with a single center point, an ellipse has two foci, creating its elongated appearance. The longest distance across the ellipse is the major axis, while the shortest distance is the minor axis. Ellipses are commonly found in astronomy (as planetary orbits), design, and art. The shape can be thought of as a stretched or squashed circle.
