An ellipse is defined by two axes: the major axis (the longest diameter, ) and the minor axis (the shortest diameter, ).The exact perimeter of an ellipse is given by the integral: [1] = where is the eccentricity of the ellipse, defined as = [2]. The integral used to find the area does not have a closed-form solution in terms of elementary functions. More @Wikipedia
