Flattening a circle

Calculus Level pending

A circle of radius 5 5 is centered at the origin. We want to "flatten" the circle in the x x -direction so that it becomes an ellipse having the same perimeter as the circle, and such that its semi-major axis length is a = 7 a = 7 . Find the semi-minor axis length b b and enter 1000 b \lfloor 1000 b \rfloor as the answer.


The answer is 2441.
