  2. Ellipse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ellipse

    The area formula is intuitive: start with a circle of radius (so its area is ) and stretch it by a factor / to make an ellipse. This scales the area by the same factor: π b 2 ( a / b ) = π a b . {\displaystyle \pi b^{2}(a/b)=\pi ab.} [ 18 ] However, using the same approach for the circumference would be fallacious – compare the integrals

  3. Perimeter of an ellipse - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perimeter_of_an_ellipse

    An ellipse has two axes and two foci. Unlike most other elementary shapes, such as the circle and square, there is no algebraic equation to determine the perimeter of an ellipse. Throughout history, a large number of equations for approximations and estimates have been made for the perimeter of an ellipse.

  4. Area - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Area

    The formula for the area enclosed by an ellipse is related to the formula of a circle; for an ellipse with semi-major and semi-minor axes x and y the formula is: [2

    Regular polygons; Description Figure Second moment of area Comment A filled regular (equiliteral) triangle with a side length of a = = [6] The result is valid for both a horizontal and a vertical axis through the centroid, and therefore is also valid for an axis with arbitrary direction that passes through the origin.

  7. Semi-major and semi-minor axes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semi-major_and_semi-minor_axes

    The semi-minor axis of an ellipse runs from the center of the ellipse (a point halfway between and on the line running between the foci) to the edge of the ellipse. The semi-minor axis is half of the minor axis. The minor axis is the longest line segment perpendicular to the major axis that connects two points on the ellipse's edge.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_centroids

    The following is a list of centroids of various two-dimensional and three-dimensional objects. The centroid of an object in -dimensional space is the intersection of all hyperplanes that divide into two parts of equal moment about the hyperplane.
