Example

SVG

html

<svg width="200" height="200" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">

    onclick="outputSize();" />
</svg>

JavaScript

function outputSize() {
  const ellipse = document.getElementById("ellipse");

  // Outputs "horizontal radius: 100 vertical radius: 60"
  console.log(
    `horizontal radius: ${ellipse.rx.baseVal.valueAsString}`,
    `vertical radius: ${ellipse.ry.baseVal.valueAsString}`,
  );
}
