With and , the calculations for the moments of inertia and the radii of gyration are given in Table 6.6.10(a), where the relevant integrations are implemented in polar coordinates. An expression for the ellipse is given by .

The polar-coordinate representation of the ellipse, namely, , is obtained by converting the Cartesian representation to polar, as follows. Since ,
