I have an ellipsoid with a surface area of 262,000. It has a radius of .151 and likewise as it rotates on the x-axis remains constant. I need to know what the radius that runs along the x-axis is.

Im writing a paper and it involves some astrophysics and math that are a little beyond my ability. If someone could solve or point me in a good direction I would be very grateful.

Use the surface area formula to try and figure out what the other radius is...

Um, no shit Angel.

The surface area of an ellipsoid of equation (x/a)2+(y/b)2+(z/c)2=1 is:

where:

I know what the equation is, but I had to learn a little bit of new math to use it, and I really dont know if I did it right or not. I was asking for help with it and perhaps someone to check my work. Oh well its done anyway.

Well I didnt need someone to tell me to use a formula to figure it out, that's just obvious. Helping me use the formula and checking my work is helpful. Telling me something I already know is not. Sorry.

Check your dates!!

stop reving old threads like this. if you have something useful to say, then it could be okay, but you can also make a new topic.

to revive a thread to tell someone they are an ass, is just retarded. keep this shit up and you wont last long here.

not really, it was just 4 hours after the last post, and it was the top thread in the forum. i think that reving dead threads is bad, keeping them alive is okay, but 4 hours compared to 31 days, is a bit of a different story.
