Program to find the Area of an Ellipse using C++


Here we will see how to get the area of an ellipse using C++. The Ellipse has different parts. These are like below.

Key-pointsDescription
CenterThe center of the ellipse. It is also center of the line segments which links two foci.
Major AxisThe longest diameter of an ellipse
nmembThis is the number of elements, each one with a size of size bytes.
Minor AxisThe smallest diameter of an ellipse
ChordThe line segment which points t
FocusTwo points that are pointed in the diagram
Lotus RectumThe lotus rectum is a line passes through the focus and perpendicular to the major axis of an ellipse

The area of an ellipse is Π𝜋∗𝑎a ∗ b𝑏

Example Code

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
float get_area(float a, float b) {
   return 3.1415 * a * b;
}
int main() {
   float a, b;
   a = 5;
   b = 4;
   cout << "Area of ellipse: " << get_area(a, b);
}

Output

Area of ellipse: 62.83
