JAVA ELLIPSE AREA: Solve for the Area of Ellipse

Ellipse is an oval shape quite similar with that of a circle but is elongated. I already posted articles related to solving for the area of a square, circle, rectangle, triangle and etc. The formula of the area of a circle is somewhat similar with that of the ellipse.


Visit PHP Solve for the Area of Ellipse here.

The program allows a user to input the desired value for a and b, x-axis and y-axis in java language.



Formula













A = Area of an Ellipse

a = distance from the center up to the edge (y-axis)

b = distance from the center to the right or left edge of an ellipse (x-axis)

Java Code

import java.util.Scanner; 
public class Ellipse{
    
    public static void main(String[] args) {
     
     // solve for the area of an ellipse

     Scanner console=new Scanner(System.in);
     System.out.println("Enter distance in y axis: ");
     double a = console.nextDouble();
     System.out.println("Enter distance in x axis: ");
     double b = console.nextDouble();
     double area=Math.PI*a*b;
     System.out.printf("The area of an ellipse is %.2f",area);
    }
}

Output

The above output formats the result in two (2) decimal places using the printf function and using the format specifier which is %.2f.
