Ellipse Definition:
     A ellipse is a locus of points in a plane such that the sum of the distances to two fixed points is a constant.

Ellipse Formula :
Area of Ellipse = πr1r2
Volume of Ellipse = (4/3)πr1r2r3
Perimeter of Ellipse = 2πSqrt((r1² + r2²) / 2)
where
        r1, r2 and r3 = radii

Ellipse Example :
Case 1: Find the area and perimeter of an ellipse with the given radii 3, 4.

  Step 1: Find the area.
            Area = πr1r2 = 3.14 * 3 * 4 = 37.68 .

  Step 2: Find the perimeter.
            Perimeter = 2πSqrt((r1² + r2²) / 2) = 2 * 3.14 * Sqrt((3² + 4²) / 2)
           = 6.28 * Sqrt((9 + 16) / 2) = 6.28 * Sqrt(25 / 2)
           = 6.28 * Sqrt(12.5) = 6.28 * 3.53 = 22.2.

Case 2: Find the volume of an ellipse with the given radii 3, 4, 5.

  Step 1: Find the volume.
            Volume = (4/3)πr1r2r3= (4/3) * 3.14 * 3 * 4 * 5 = 1.33 * 188.4 = 251

The above example will clearly illustrates how to calculate the Area, Perimeter and Volume of an Ellipse manually.
