How the fuck do I prove that the area of an ellipse with minor and major axis a and b is pi*a*b WITHOUT doing an integral?
you times a and b because of the power between them. then you multiply by pi to show the significance of that fact. well-ah!!

Space deformation from the area of a circle ?

Since an ellipse is a circle viedwed from any angle, the ratio of an ellipse's area to that of its bounding rectangle must equal the ratio of a circle to that of its bounding square, no proof needed.

Unless you are specifically banned from integrating because of a homework question or whatever, you should really just integrate.

I guess the point is to figure out how Archimedes was able to prove this, or just to find out how it was done historically.

ellipse=image of unit circle under linear transformation corresponding to matrix Diag(a,b)
area of ellipse=(area of circle)*Det(Diag(a,b))

this.
Also, fill a unit circle (area pi) with tiny little squares. Stretch the x axis by a factor of b, then stretch the y axis by a factor of a. Each little square becomes a rectangle, and the area of each one has changed by a factor of ab. So the sum of their areas has changed by a factor of ab. Thus the area of an ellipse is pi*a*b.
