To explain : The method to obtain closer and closer approximation of the ellipse's area.
To obtain closer and closer approximation of the ellipse's area the rectangle’s width should be the minimum.
Given information :
The equation of the ellipse is
Formula used:
Area
Explanation :
The area of the ellipse using formula is
The estimated area of the elliptical region using the rectangles of width
The estimated area of the elliptical region by using the rectangles of width
Therefore, as the width of the rectangles will decrease, the estimated area will be closer to the actual area.
