Formulas for the truncated cone


Top surface (\(\small{A_T}\))

\(\displaystyle A_T= r^2·π\)

Base surface (\(\small{A_B}\))

\(\displaystyle A_B= R^2·π\)

Total surface (\(\small{S}\))

\(\displaystyle S=S_L+π·(R^2+r^2)\)

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

\(\displaystyle V=\frac{1}{3}·π·(R^2+(R·r) +r^2)·h\)

Large perimeter(\(\small{P_L}\))

\(\displaystyle P_L= 2\cdot π \cdot R\)

Short perimeter (\(\small{P_S}\))

\(\displaystyle P_S= 2\cdot π \cdot r\)

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

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

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

\(\displaystyle S_L=π ·(R+r)·\sqrt{(R-r)^2+h^2}\) \(\displaystyle \ \ \ =π ·(R+r)·L\)
