Find the perimeter of an ellipse if the major axis is 30 millimeters (mm) and the minor axis is 12 mm. Round off your answer to the nearest whole number A. 49 mm B.72 mm C. 28 mm D. 283 mm
The perimeter of an ellipse is given by: P = (2 * pi) * root ((a ^ 2 + b ^ 2) / 2) Where, a: semi-major axis b: Semi-minor axis Substituting the values we have: P = (2 * 3.14) * root (((30/2) ^ 2 + (12/2) ^ 2) / 2) P = 71.74058266 Round off to the nearest whole number P = 72 mm Answer: B.72 mm
