An oval has 2 radii. Think of a circle as an oval with equal radaii.
area of circle is pi x r^2.
area of oval is pi x r1 x r2

Hi. ANY oval? Don't know but the formula for an elliptical oval is pi*a*b. An egg shaped oval is more complicated and uses a different formula.

To work out the area, it would seem logical to do it the same way as a circle. that being:
radius squared times by pi (3.1415927).
But I am not 100 percent sure about the oval area or the mathematical equation.

The Oval is in the Bethnal Green area of London.
*Just thought I'd be different.

The area of an oval is found by multiplying the width (W) times the length (L), then multiplying the result by 0.8

I would find the equation of the oval and integrate it within the limits of the integral then double it

I could be wrong, but if you take the area of the major dimn dia as a circle minus the area of the minor dimn dia as circle, that could be it. OK, got it now - A=pi over 4 times (minor dia)(major dia) - thats gospel
