Formulas for a truncated cylinder


Volume \(\small{V}\)

\(\displaystyle V= r^2 · π · \frac{h_s+h_l}{2}\)

Perimeter \(\small{P}\)

\(\displaystyle P=2·r·π\)

Base area \(\small{A}\)

\(\displaystyle A= r^2·π\)

Lateral area \(\small{L}\)

\(\displaystyle L=r·π ·(h_s+h_l)\)

Surface \(\small{S}\)

\(\displaystyle S=L+π·r·\left(r+\sqrt{r^2+\left(\frac{h_l-h_s}{2} \right)^2} \right)\)

Semi-axis \(\small{a}\)

\(\displaystyle a=\sqrt{r^2+\left(\frac{h_l-h_s}{2} \right)^2}\)
