Formulas for calculating cones



Base radius (\(\small{r}\))

\(\displaystyle r=\sqrt{\frac{A}{ π}}\)

Base perimeter (\(\small{P}\))

\(\displaystyle P=2· r ·π\)

Height (\(\small{h}\))

\(\displaystyle h=\sqrt{L^2-r^2}\) \(\displaystyle \ \ \ =\frac{3·V}{A}\)

Slant length (\(\small{L}\))

\(\displaystyle L=\sqrt{h^2+r^2}\)

Lateral surface (\(\small{S_L}\))

\(\displaystyle S_L=\frac{d·π·L}{2}\)    \(\displaystyle =\frac{P· L}{2}\)

Base area (\(\small{A}\))

\(\displaystyle A= r^2·π\)

Surface (\(\small{S}\))

\(\displaystyle S=S_L+A\)

Volume (\(\small{V}\))

\(\displaystyle V=\frac{A·h}{3}\)    \(\displaystyle \ \ \ =\frac{r^2· π· h}{3}\)
