The ellipse equation is 16x2+25y2=400.
The standard form of an ellipse is a2x2+b2y2=1.
Dividing the entire equation by 400:
40016x2+40025y2=400400
25x2+16y2=1
From 25x2+16y2=1:
a2=25
a=5
b2=16
b=4
The area of an ellipse is given by πab.
Area =π×5×4
Area =20π sq. units
Therefore, the area of the region enclosed by the ellipse is 20π square units.
