Please give me the formula.
Your help is appreciated.
Thanx in advanced.

I know that the formula to find it's area is:
20 X 7 X 3.14
I know there is a way to find it's perimeter. :p

An oval is a geometric shape that resembles a flattened circle. It has two equal sides and two unequal sides, with both ends curving inwards.
To find the perimeter of an oval, you can use the formula 2π√((a^2+b^2)/2), where a and b are the lengths of the unequal sides. Alternatively, you can also use a string or measuring tape to measure the length around the oval's outer edge.
Yes, the perimeter of an oval is also known as its circumference. It is the total distance around the oval's outer edge.
Yes, the formula 2π√((a^2+b^2)/2) can be used to find the perimeter of any oval, regardless of its size or proportions. This is because all ovals have two equal and two unequal sides, and the formula takes into account the lengths of both sides.
Finding the perimeter of an oval is important because it allows us to determine the distance around the oval's outer edge. This can be useful in various real-world applications, such as designing a race track or calculating the amount of fencing needed for an oval-shaped garden.
