Question 1 Solution
Area of ellipse = πab where a = semimajor axis and b = semiminor axis
To just fit inside the rectangle, the major axis is equal to the lenght of the rectangle i.e 30cm
the semimajor axis is half of the major axis i.e.15 cm.
The minor axis is equal to the width of the rectangle i.e.20cm
So the semiminor axis is half the minor axis i.e. 10cm.
Area = πab = π x 15 x 10 = 150π
