A Planar Cut Through an Ellipsoid

Geometry Level 5

An ellipsoid with center \((0,0,0)\) and semi-axes of 10, 15, and 30, along the \(x, y,\) and \(z\) directions, respectively, is cut by a plane whose equation is \( x + 3y + 2z = 40 \). The intersection of the ellipsoid and the plane is an ellipse. Find its area.
