Ellipse

   
Semi-axes: a, b

Eccentricity: e = sqrt(a2-b2)/a
Area: K
Circumference: C
 

    K = p a b

C = 4aE, where E is an elliptic integral with k = e, which can be used to derive the following formulas:

C = p (a+b)[1 + x2/4 + x4/64 + ...],
where x = (a-b)/(a+b)

C = p (a+b)(1 + 3x2/[10 + sqrt(4 - 3x2)]), approximately

 


 Segment of a Parabola

   
Height: h
Chord length: c
Area: K
Length: s
 
    s = c[1+2(2h/c)2/3-2(2h/c)4/5+...]
s = sqrt[4h2+c2/4]+[c2/(8h)]
     ln[(2h+sqrt[4h2+c2/4])/(c/2)]

K = 2ch/3
K = 4T/3, where T is the area of
     the triangle formed by the chord
     and the point of tangency of a
     tangent to the parabola parallel
     to the chord
