It is a completely curved <a href=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/geometric-shapes\">geometric figure<\/a>.<\/strong> Thus, it has no straight lines or vertices. It looks like a stretched-out, elongated, or a squashed circle. The shape is very similar to the shape of an ellipse. However, they are not the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ovals are not precisely defined geometrical figures with strict mathematical properties. The term &#8220;oval&#8221; is a broad and informal term used to describe any elongated closed curve that is not circular but resembles a squashed circle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"358\" src=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/oval-shape.png\" alt=\"Oval shape\" class=\"wp-image-32382\" title=\"Oval shape\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/oval-shape.png 620w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/oval-shape-300x173.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The word \u201coval\u201d is originated from the Latin word \u201c<em>ovum<\/em>,\u201d which means \u201can egg.\u2019\u2019 If you draw an outline of an egg, it will be oval in shape.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"346\" src=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/oval-shape-compared-to-an-egg.png\" alt=\"Comparing an oval shape with the outline of an egg\" class=\"wp-image-32383\" title=\"Comparing an oval shape with the outline of an egg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/oval-shape-compared-to-an-egg.png 620w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/oval-shape-compared-to-an-egg-300x167.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The oval shape is not particularly defined in geometry.

Let\u2019s learn some other interesting ways to draw this curved shape.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The construction of an oval shape can be done in many ways. The first can be to simply draw it using a rubber band. Alternatively, we can construct it using a ruler and a compass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Construction of an Oval Shape Using a Rubber Band (Bold)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To make an oval shape using a rubber band, follow the given steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 1: <\/strong>Take a rubber band, a pencil, and two nails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 2: <\/strong>Fix the nails away from each other. The distance should be such that once the rubber bank is fixed on them, it makes a straight line. In other words, there should be some tension once we stretch the rubber band.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 3:<\/strong> Place the pencil inside the rubberband and draw an oval shape by stretching it while the nails keep the band in position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"316\" src=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/oval-shape-construction-using-compass.png\" alt=\"Drawing an oval shape using a rubber band\" class=\"wp-image-32384\" title=\"Drawing an oval shape using a rubber band\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/oval-shape-construction-using-compass.png 620w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/oval-shape-construction-using-compass-300x153.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Construction of an Oval Shape Using a Compass<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To construct an oval using a compass, follow the steps given below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 1:<\/strong> Construct two circles of the same radius that touch each other at one point. Let the centers be Q and S.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 2: <\/strong>Draw a straight line joining the center of both circles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 3:<\/strong> Set the compass distance equal to the diameter. Keep the compass on Q and make arcs above and below. Repeat the same by keeping the compass at S.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let the arcs intersect at points A and B.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Step 4: <\/strong>Set the compass distance equal to PS.<strong> <\/strong>With this distance and by keeping the needle at A, draw the lower half of the oval. Draw the upper half of the oval by keeping the compass at B.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"499\" src=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/oval-shape-construction.png\" alt=\"Construction of an oval\" class=\"wp-image-32385\" title=\"Construction of an oval\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/oval-shape-construction.png 620w, https:\/\/www.splashlearn.com\/math-vocabulary\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/oval-shape-construction-300x241.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Construction of an Oval Shape Using Plus (+) Sign, Rectangle, or Circle<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Simply draw a plus sign (+), but draw the vertical line a bit longer.
