Frequently asked questions
- What is the formula for the area of an ellipse?
- Area = π × a × b, where a and b are the lengths of the semi-major and semi-minor axes.
- What are the semi-major and semi-minor axes?
- The semi-major axis is half the ellipse's longest diameter; the semi-minor axis is half its shortest diameter.
- Is a circle a special case of an ellipse?
- Yes — when the semi-major and semi-minor axes are equal, the ellipse becomes a circle, and the formula simplifies to πr².
- Is this tool free to use?
- Yes — completely free, no account needed. Everything is calculated entirely in your browser and never uploaded to a server.
