How to Calculate and Solve for the Area of an Ellipsoid | The Calculator Encyclopedia
Last Updated on February 17, 2024
The image above is an ellipsoid.
To compute the area of an ellipsoid, three essential parameters are needed and these parameters are axis (a), axis (b) and axis (c).
The formula for calculating the area of an ellipsoid:
A = 4π((ab)1.6 + (ac)1.6 + (bc)1.6⁄3)1 / 1.6
Where;
A = Area of the ellipsoid
a = Axis of the ellipsoid
b = Axis of the ellipsoid
c = Axis of the ellipsoid
Let’s solve an example;
Find the the area of an ellipsoid when the axis (a) of the ellipsoid is 12 cm, axis (b) of the ellipsoid is 6 cm and axis (c) of the ellipsoid is 2 cm.
This implies that;
a = Axis of the ellipsoid = 12 cm
b = Axis of the ellipsoid = 6 cm
c = Axis of the ellipsoid = 2 cm
A = 4π((ab)1.6 + (ac)1.6 + (bc)1.6⁄3)1 / 1.6
A = 4π(((12)(6))1.6 + ((12)(2))1.6 + ((6)(2))1.6⁄3)1 / 1.6
That is, A = 4π(((72)1.6 + (24)1.6 + (12)1.6)⁄3)1 / 1.6
A = 4π(((936.98) + (161.56) + (53.29))⁄3)1 / 1.6
A = 4π((1151.84)⁄3)1 / 1.6
Then, A = 4π(383.946)1 / 1.6
A = 4π(383.946)0.625
A = 4π(41.2258)
So, A = (12.566)(41.2258)
A = 518.059
Therefore, the area of the ellipsoid is 518.059 cm2.
