The area of an ellipse x2a2+y2b2=1\dfrac{x^2}{a^2}+\dfrac{y^2}{b^2}=1 is πab\pi a b.

The ellipse x21+y24=1\dfrac{x^2}{1}+\dfrac{y^2}{4}=1 has a2=1  ⟹  a=1a^2=1 \implies a=1 and b2=4  ⟹  b=2b^2=4\implies b=2.

The area of an ellipse with semi-axes aa and bb is:

Area=πab=π(1)(2)=2π sq. units\text{Area} = \pi a b = \pi(1)(2) = 2\pi \text{ sq. units}
