Formulas for the elliptical truncated cone
Volume (\(\small{V}\))
\(\displaystyle V= \frac{π}{3} · (h · a · b - j · c · d ) \)
Truncated height (\(\small{j}\))
\(\displaystyle j = h-i\)
Large upper semiaxis(\(\small{c}\))
\(\displaystyle c = \frac{a·j}{h}\)
Short upper semiaxis (\(\small{d}\))
\(\displaystyle d = \frac{b·j}{h}\)
Surface area (\(\small{S}\))
\(\displaystyle S = A+M \)
Base area (\(\small{A}\))
\(\displaystyle A = a·b·π \)
Lateral surface (\(\small{M}\))
\(\displaystyle M ≈ \frac{π}{2}·\left[\left(a · \sqrt{b^2 + h^2}+b·\sqrt{a^2+h^2}\right)-\left(c·\sqrt{d^2+j^2}+d·\sqrt{c^2+j^2}\right)\right]\)
With this simplified formula you get an estimate
*) The lateral surface is calculated using an integral, but is estimated here using the simplified formula. The estimate is slightly below the exact value.
