what is the area of a parabola inscribed in a rectangle 30cm long and 22cm wide

3 answers

For an ellipse in the form
x^2/a^2 + y^2/b^2 = 1
the area of an ellipse us abπ

in your case a=15, b=11

area = 165π
I misread your question
The area of a parabola is (2/3)bh,
where b is the base and h is height

so in your case
Area = (2/3)(30)(22) = 440
