Formulas for the elliptic cylinder
Volume \(\small{V}\)
\(\displaystyle V= r_a·r_b · π · h\)
Perimeter *) \(\small{P}\)
\(\displaystyle P ≈ π · (a+b) · \left( 1+ \frac{3 · λ^2}{10+\sqrt{4-3*λ^2}}\right) \)
\(\displaystyle λ = \frac{a - b ·}{a+b}\)
Base area \(\small{A}\)
\(\displaystyle A= r_a ·r_b ·π\)
Lateral area \(\small{L}\)
\(\displaystyle L=P·h\)
Surface \(\small{S}\)
\(\displaystyle S=2·A + L\)
*) The scope is determined using an approximation formula by Ramanujan, which has a maximum error of 0.04%.
