Formulas for calculating an elliptical cylinder


Volume \(\displaystyle V= r_a·r_b · π · h\)
Perimeter *)

 
\(\displaystyle P ≈ π · (a+b) · \left( 1+ \frac{3 · λ^2}{10+\sqrt{4-3*λ^2}}\right) \)
\(\displaystyle λ = \frac{a - b ·}{a+b}\)
Base area \(\displaystyle A= r_a ·r_b ·π\)
Lateral area \(\displaystyle L=P·h\)
Surface area
 
\(\displaystyle S=2·A + L\)

*) The scope is determined using an approximation formula by Ramanujan, which has a maximum error of 0.04%.
