Question

the area, a, of an ellipse can be determined using the formula a = πxy, where x and y are half the lengths of the largest and smallest diameters of the ellipse. which is an equivalent equation solved for y? o y = a - πx o y = a + (πx) o y = a · πx o y = a / (πx)

Explanation:

Step1: Start with area formula

Given $a = \pi xy$.

Step2: Solve for y

Divide both sides by $\pi x$ (assuming $x
eq0$), we get $y=\frac{a}{\pi x}$.

Answer:

None of the provided options are correct. The correct formula for $y$ when solving $a = \pi xy$ for $y$ is $y=\frac{a}{\pi x}$.
